Maghery Beach

Highlight • Beach

Maghery Beach is a beautiful and quiet sandy bay. It is popular for swimming so makes a nice pitstop while hiking. It often quiet here and the beach is wide, even at high tide, so plenty of space to enjoy.

The trail passes right along the rocky foreshore, making rockpooling a tempting distraction when the tide is out. You can see Rutland Island across the bay.
