Firemore Beach is a picturesque and unspoilt rural sandy beach located near Poolewe, favoured by locals and those seeking a tranquil retreat. .

Firemore Beach is situated opposite Isle Ewe and is a popular destination for summer bathing and watersports. The beach boasts a red-hued sandy shoreline, with some attractive rocks and rock pools, and offers breathtaking scenery. The gulf stream runs close by, making the waters relatively warm compared to other parts of the western Highland coast.

The beach has no facilities, including no lifeguard, but there is a nearby café. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities, such as sea-angling, mussel gathering, and spotting wildlife, including sea-birds, eagles, seals, whales, and dolphins. The beach is also a popular spot for campervans, and a nearby campsite offers basic facilities, including an honesty box for payment.

Firemore Beach is close to the National Trust for Scotland Inverewe Gardens, a 20-hectare site featuring many exotic plants and an extensive network of paths. The gardens offer a tranquil retreat and are a must-visit for nature lovers.

To access the beach, take the B8057 north of Poolewe towards Cove. Visitors are advised to be mindful of livestock grazing near the beach and to keep dogs under control. The campsite has no running water or toilets, so campers should be prepared to bring their own facilities.
