Not a lover of Irish Beaches during the summer months as access is always near impossible when the weather is good as everyone heads to the Beach, so i tend to go wandering during the off season where you`re always guaranteed to have the place to yourself. Visited this place while the Girlfriend was doing a Communion shoot. Just me and the little fella, and one die hard swimmer who braved the cold weather for a dip in the sea.

Amazing scenery and beautiful weather on the day we walked it. The parking near to the cove is small and the road very tight . In peak times it would be best to park before the road leading down to the cove as it will make leaving later on much easier.

Beautiful and relaxing. Not a highly visited spot for some peace and quiet.
