                                        This is a beautiful clean sand beach with loads of space. Lots of rocks for exploring and nice hotel nearby for food and supplies.

                                        Gorgeous beach. Even in winter it's amazing. Loved watching the waves crashing on the shore as it was fairly stormy when we visited

                                        This beach is incredible, clean, fresh and at least 2 miles long. It is the ideal place to clear your head and free your soul. Could even cure a hangover !! just amazing and well worth a day trip. I visited on a windy day, but imagine in finer weather it could be a different experience, always good though.

                                        I visited this beach in November last year, and like it "says on the tin" the beach is a lovely spot and ticks all the boxes, However!!! My wife and I were truly astounded at the amount of dog foul in the surrounding green areas and along the paths to the beach,it was that bad my wife managed to step in dog dirt twice in a matter of metres, subsequently we carefully watched our steps and thus noted the shocking quantity of it, how this beach made it to the best beach in the country i have no idea? Cork County Council or the hotel ground staff need to check this out!

                                        Beautiful beach, my favorite in Europe, sand and sun.. Typical old Ireland is not here! Feels like a second holiday to spain! Beautiful beach, amazing view! Great for the kids.

                                        Stopped by on our way out of Clonakilty. This is a stunning beach and we were the only ones on it apart from a Dad teaching his young daughter how to surf. Picturesque Ireland at its finest.
