General Information
'Eastlea' is situated close to Sanick beach on the south side of the wider Sandwick area, a village in the South Mainland of Shetland approximately midway between Lerwick 14 miles to the north, and Sumburgh and the airport to the south, both within easy reach by car or by bus.
The village enjoys a good range of amenities including the local shop & post office, Junior High School (nursery, primary & secondary schooling to year 4), and the South Mainland Swimming Pool all at Stove, plus a community hall, social club, private nursery & garage. Slightly further afield at Hoswick is a small visitor's centre and tearoom, whilst Leebitton is the departure point for summer boat trips to the island of Mousa.
