Achnahaird Bay is an inlet of Enard Bay, located on the Coigach peninsula, in Wester Ross, Scotland.[1] It can be accessed by following the road leading to the scattered settlement of Achiltibuie. The wide sandy beach has views of the mountains Stac Pollaidh, Canisp and Suilven. Achnahaird Bay was used as a filming location for the 2011 film The Eagle, where a horse chase scene was shot across the beach.

There is a caravan site near the beach.[citation needed]
