Exposed to the Atlantic swells and with a huge variety of beaches, reefs and fantastic mountains, few places lend themselves to outdoor activities and sports as the Outer Hebrides. From extreme sports to the more sedate, the offerings are plentiful, ranging from surfing, sailing and canoeing to golf, walking, cycling and fishing, opportunities are available throughout the islands.

Lewis is well known for its great surf and surfers from all over the world annually come to the west coast of the island to experience some of the best waves driven by the Atlantic Ocean.

There are five golf courses on the islands ranging from 9-hole courses in Harris, Benbecula and Barra to the 18-holes available at Askernish in South Uist and Stornoway. Askernish, an Old Tom Morris designed course, has recently been redeveloped and life memberships are available. Welcome to the great outdoors.
