Sanday, aptly named the Sand Island for its beautiful beaches.
Westray, Queen o' the Orkney Islands. Excellent place to spot puffins in late spring to find the best fish & chips in Orkney at the Pierowall Hotel.
Papa Westray, referred to locally as "Papay", the island is home to the oldest site in Orkney, Knap of Howar.
North Ronaldsay, well-worth the trip if only to climb to the top of the new lighthouse for fantastic views, and to see Old Beacon, the third oldest lighthouse in Scotland.
Shapinsay, a short ferry sailing from Kirkwall and home to Balfour Castle.
