Dail Mòr, Beach and archaeological site in Carloway, Scotland.
The Atlantic Ocean waves reach the expansive sandy shore, which stretches along the northwestern coast of Isle of Lewis at coordinates 58.3028° N, -6.75° W.
Excavations in 1982 uncovered prehistoric stone structures, tools made from bone, antler materials, and pottery fragments belonging to the Beaker culture near the beach.
The location name originates from Scottish Gaelic, translating to 'big meadow' in English, reflecting the natural landscape that surrounds this coastal area.
The beach includes a maintained car park, designated areas for picnics, public barbecue facilities, and walking paths for visitors to explore the surroundings.
Archaeological discoveries at this site included arrowheads crafted from non-local quartz, indicating trade connections between Western Isles and mainland Scotland during prehistoric periods.
