Inchydoney Beach
Inchydoney Beach Review
The beach is on an island connected to the mainland by causeways, and accessible by car. It consists of two flat wide stretches of fine white sand divided by a rocky promontory. The east side is the most sheltered and has dunes that can be walked. The slope to the sea is so gentle, that at low tide it's a long walk to find deep water. Busy in July and August, its vast expanses offer exhilarating walks the rest of the year. Amenities: parking (free), lifeguards, toilets, water sports, hotel. Best For: walking, surfing, swimming.
- Address: Inchydoney Island, 3 km (2 miles) south of town, Clonakilty, Co. Cork
- Phone: n/a
- Location: Clonakilty and Environs
