We managed to find parking within a minute walking to the beach, it was full yet we managed to find our own place to enjoy the amazing scenery, the beach is well kept or people do actually respect the environment. White sandy beach… great place

A beautiful clean beach, right next to the dart so very easy to get to. The lighthouse is beautiful and they allow dogs! Even have a small cafe with drinks and beach toys. 10/10

We visited on a weekday in September, when it was nice and quiet. But it struck me the sand was lovely and clean, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the views were incredible. There's quite a high back at the rear of the beach, with the train station overlooking it. And there's a close car park as well, making it very easy to access.

Beautiful beach, had a swim there while attending a songwriting retreat at the Irish Institute of Music and Song last week. Lovely place to swim!
