"beautiful. little village by the sea, good for surfing and long, windy walks. Dangerous road in spots over the cliffs though, be careful where and how you park"

Laura Birmingham

"Incredibly windy on the day we visited. Lots of jellyfish so be careful where the kids and dogs are walking. Nice long stretch of sand to walk along. No bins to be seen, not sure if this is usual or not for beaches in Ireland. Beach was nice and clean."
