A lovely, peaceful beach with a small harbor that offers views of Tuskar Rock Lighthouse and the ships passing through Rosslare.

The beach is beautiful and secluded, but it's a bit of a drive to reach. You can either take the steps down to the main part of the beach or go the long way around over the rocks. The carpark is very small, only fitting about 15 cars.
