Just off the east coast of Shetland lies Mousa, an isle uninhabited by humans, but home to seals and sea birds. If you are lucky you might see a harbour porpoise on the short ferry crossing and, for a few short weeks in the summer, there are night time trips to see and hear thousands of storm petrels nesting in an ancient broch. If the tide is out when you arrive back at the pier in Sandwick the stony beach is brilliant for rockpooling too. (Note that in 2011 repairs are taking place so a different pier is being used.)
