Baleshare is an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It is often known by its Scottish Gaelic name of Baile Sear. It is a tidal island linked to North Uist by a causeway built in 1962.
The island is known for its long sandy beach and has a population of around fifty people, living in two settlements: Samhla and Teananachar .
It is said that there was land to the west of Baleshare, washed away by a tsunami in the sixteenth century, over which it was possible to walk to the Monach Islands at low tide.
