Shetland's Hidden Beaches: Island Hopping in a VW Camper

In this video, we explore the remote and stunning coastlines of Shetland, uncovering secret beaches and breathtaking views that you won't want to miss. From island hopping to discovering secluded spots, we take you along on our adventure as we navigate Shetland's rugged beauty.

Heading north, we explore the smaller and remote islands of Yell, Unst and Fetlar. As well as finding the Puffin colony at Hermaness, we delve into the history of these Viking isles and in sharp contrast stumble upon the the new Spaceport Project.

Whether you're planning your own campervan trip or just dreaming of Shetland’s wild landscapes, this video is packed with inspiration and practical tips for making the most of your island-hopping journey.

We are Richard and Jackie and we live in the UK. We retired from teaching at the age of 51 in the summer of 2022. Our plans for early requirement include relocating to the Yorkshire Dales, developing our forever home and travelling the UK, Europe and eventually the world in our VW campervan Nelson.

Wow, that look amazing and so fortunate with the weather. That will definitely do…..

Superb as ever. I did laugh when Richard admitted he was "grumpy" on the bog-trot walk (as we call them.) You are genuine travelers and not putting on a silly show for the clicks on YT like the majority do. Finding those spectacular park ups and supporting/respecting the local community is especially admirable. More Puffin envy!

Whow!! What a beautiful combination of nature, culture, making of headstands (well done Jacky) and beating a dissapointing walking experience with humor & honesty. 😂 Looking forward to the next episode.

25, 000 Puffins! Jackie you must have been in euphoria! To hear them singing and to be so relatively close to them - what a beautiful trip!

Looks amazing... how much were the ferries please? Love the ferry Bigga.."Looks like we're gonna need a Bigga boat" (Jaws) 😂

There is no better place to visit than Scotland especially if the sun is shining.

Beautiful, thanks so much for bringing us along.
Do you think it would be OK to tent camp in the places you're showing us, it seems so deserted & tranquil.
I ask, because we only have a tent at the moment & yet want to get away to Northern Scotland before the summers out.
