The exotic UK beach you can only get to by hiking

- near the ‘world’s best pub’

A tiny beach has been described as "exotic" and "like paradise" - but you will need to put in some work to get there.

Sandaig Bay is on the northwestern end of Loch Nevis in Scotland. And one expert has said it is one of the most beautiful places he's ever been.

TV presenter Steve Backshall said that while it can "only be accessed by kayak or by walking [three miles]," it's worth it to have it "entirely to yourself".

Steve said the loch was "utter paradise" where you can see otters and dolphins right up close when kayaking, and even spot the Northern Lights if lucky.

Another visitor said there were "breathtaking views of the islands [with the] secluded bay hidden from sight until you arrive just above the islands on the pathway".

It's not just the bay that is worth visiting - but the nearby pub too. The Old Forge at Inverie is often dubbed the most remote pub in the UK - but also "the best".

It's only accessible by boat or by an 18-mile hike. Steve said: "[It's] the best pub in the world, where I’ve had some of the best nights of my life."
