Wide, gently curved bay with an extensive dune system and clear Atlantic light. The beach was formed by the 1755 tsunami wave and has retained its open, soft landscape ever since. One of the most photogenic spots in West Cork, with sweeping vistas and a calm, natural atmosphere.

From here you can easily get to the most south-westerly point of Ireland.
