The place where we chose to park overnight at East Strathy was surprisingly delightful. The facilities are fantastic and the location is also brilliant, however, there is no signal, and worst of all, the local residents resent you parking overnight in this specifically designed car park.
This overnight car park at East Strathy is a mere 5-minute walk away from an award winning white sandy beach. It is surrounded by sand dunes and grassy mounds, perfect for exploring in the evenings. It is also popular with people who enjoy wild camping.
The car park is not flat, therefore you may wish to bring leveling blocks for a more comfortable night’s sleep!

Hi
Could you please remove this location from your blog ?
East Strathy, as you pointed out is a cemetery car park & since June 1st 2021 Highland Council has made it illegal to overnight stay in any HC cemetery car park, including this one.
As you also noted, local residents do not like people staying overnight in this car park.
The facilities provided were for those properly wild camping overnight in tents & more importantly for those attending the cemetery, either for burials or for those visiting departed relatives/friends.
Your talk of ghosts is also distasteful.

Hello June,
I’ve just read your comment regarding overnight parking at the HC cemetery carpark near strathy beach and noticed you mentioned the purpose of this facility was “partially” to aid those wild camping in tents. A friend and I were looking to wild camp at this location and was wondering if empty cars can be parked here over night or if there is another location they can be left whilst we trek to find a suitable place to set up tents. If you have any local knowledge on this matter I’d love the guidance.
Thank you,
Harry
