Sands of Evie

The Sands of Evie is a sandy beach landform near the village of Evie on Mainland Orkney, Scotland, protected by the Point of Hellia headland.

[1] This beach forms the southern boundary of Aikerness Bay, an element of Eynhallow Sound.

Immediately to the east is Gurness, a rather well preserved Iron Age broch.

A Pictish slab was discovered on the Sands of Evie in 1967 and is now housed in Orkney Museum.
