Name: This small beach in Kinsale is charming. When we visited in the afternoon, we had the beach all to ourselves. It's a popular spot for dog walking, as we saw several people arriving with their furry friends as we were leaving. The beach was covered in paw prints. The surrounding vegetation was alive with birdsong. Access to the beach is easy with a small car park and a narrow path leading down to the shore.
