The beautiful seaside town that's home to secret waterfalls and sandy bays

This pretty town is one that leaves its visitors in awe of its beautiful scenery. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot to enjoy this summer, this small part of Scotland could be the perfect place for you.

Located on the Isle of Skye, this town has been called “one of the best” parts of the island, says Wander Somewhere. There’s a huge range of things to do and see while you’re in Portree, from visiting its churches, cafes and restaurants, to visiting its cinema in rainy weather or admiring its harbour.

Wander Somewhere says: “This beautiful harbour town combines a quintessential island experience of white-washed cottages and big views with essential modern amenities.

“Both the island’s capital and largest town, Portree’s winding streets balance modern-day luxuries and heaps of island history.”

If you’re adventurous, you can’t miss out on visiting Quiraing for a hike.

One person on Tripadvisor said: “Absolutely stunning views! Easy parking - the drive in and out is one lane be aware!

“Can’t say enough about the beauty of this place. Many options for walking / hiking for all levels - don’t miss this!”

Another penned: “One of the most breathtaking hikes we’ve ever done. The scenery is otherworldly, dramatic cliffs, winding paths, and endless views.

“We even saw a couple taking wedding photos, which added to the magic. A must-do if you’re up for some walking.”

Portree is the capital of Skye and it’s a place those who visit the island often make a trip to.

Even King Charles visited the area and enjoyed a fish and chips while there. You can't miss the Scorrybreac Trail which is set on the coast and offers incredible waterfront views.

On good days, you can also see the Isle of Raasay on this walk so don’t forget to try to spot it along the way.

For a peaceful break this summer in a quiet and underrated destination, Portree is a perfect spot to enjoy the coast.
