It is Isle of Skye, Scotland.
You'll see the same beach in my gallery with a couple of cattle on it.  This spot is just around the headland you see behind the cattle. A very popular spot to take photographs made famous by the Joe Cornish original. I've never had any good light when I have visited hence always refrained from even trying to make any captures along the rocky bit looking across to the Cuillins. 
Sometime I'll actually stay in Elgol so give me more chance to get some captures from there in the evenings. It is a torturous single track road to get there and I don't fancy driving it much at night if the cloud moves in like it very often does.

Few weeks ago I spent a whole day on top of the mountain behind Elgol waiting for the right light to take a panorama - in the end all I got was wet as the rain swept in and I had pack up the gear to trudge back to the car . 

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
