    • Shapinsay is a wonderful place for walkers, nature lovers, artists and of course those who just wish to relax in peaceful surroundings. Small sandy beaches, rocky shores and the craigs (cliffs) on the east coast surround this green fertile island. Walking or cycling is undoubtedly the best way to get around. 
     
    With Kirkwall being just a 25min ferry trip from Shapinsay you can easily visit attractions on the Mainland of Orkney whether historic sites, festival events or perhaps go shopping and return to the island the same day. Also the perfect retreat after a day at the Orkney Library in Kirkwall which is a great place for those studying genealogy. 
     
    The frequent daily ferry service to and from Kirkwall starts from Shapinsay at 07.30am on weekdays with the last sailing from Kirkwall 5.30pm. For more details go to www.orkneyferries.co.uk 
     
    You can also hire a private boat for trips to and from town, fishing or sightseeing.
