To help those deciding where to head to see the Northern Lights, Parkdean Resorts has analysed the best UK beaches for stargazing based on light pollution levels.
Their research has revealed that Luskentyre Beach on the Isle of Harris has the best visibility for observing the natural light display.
According to NASA, locations with a score of four or lower on the Bortle brightness scale are ideal sky for stargazing. While many UK beaches fall within this range, according to Parkdean Resorts, Luskentyre is the only one with a rare score of one.
As a result, the beach offers optimum nighttime viewing conditions for the Northern Lights. Well known for its clear blue water and pristine white sands, Luskentyre is worth a visit even if you aren't able to see the lights.
Luskentyre is located on the west coast of South Harris, and has been named as one of the UK’s best beaches in the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards.
