Super nice swimming spot. Has a parking lot and public toilet. Toilet is clean and huge so families can change there. During hide tide it is possible to snorkel as water is very clear. It’s a sheltered beach and also great for kayakers and SUPs
Location
Getting there
From Cahersiveen follow the direction to the Stone Forts. Once there just a bit further and first to the right. Then you are nearly there.
Accessibility
During hide tide you will have a few bigger rocks on the right. But apart from that it is sandy and easy to enter and exit.

Before you go
- Check tide times before entering. Incoming tides can cut off escape routes.
- Watch for rip currents, especially near groynes and headlands
- Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing.
- Always swim with others or tell someone your plan
- A tow float makes you visible to boats and other water users

A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
