Sightseeing
This is an award winning blue flag beach rated one of the best in ireland. It is worth a visit. You can go for a sea swim , please observe the swimming guidelines and safety warnings on the sign posts. A walk along the dunes is scenic and energising. There is usually a coffee truck called silver surfers open during the summer months serving snacks and delicious pizza. Or you can pack a picnic!
