Read moreLovely quiet place today, May 2025. Plenty of parking. There was only around 20 people there while I was there. Some families. Some dog walkers. Some explorers and some sporty people in kayaks. Most seemed to be local and the people I spoke to warned me to be careful if I was wandering too far because the tide can come in very fast and catch you off guard. I went walking by the sea stacks on the left and the sand is pretty soft in places. I did tip over when I walked in a very soft area 😂 The cliffs are amazing around the beach and there is a plaque on the way in explaining the geology of the place. There is a bin at the entrance but I didn't see any toilets on site. It's just a beautiful beach to escape to and I guess tramore isn't very far away if you need toilets. Approx 15 minutes I think. Fantastic place for photography because of the sea stacks and the colours on the cliffs. The only thing I would say is be careful if you're walking barefoot because some of the fallen rocks seem very slaty and are very sharp if you stand on them. I don't know how busy this place gets during high summer but it was an absolute dream today if you like somewhere away...
Read moreNext on our Copper Coast tour was Kilfarrasy Beach. Much like Garrarus Strand, the beach sports beautiful views. I noticed much less seaweed and algae at this beach. Bring a foam pad and your sandals for comfort.
Parking available. If you’re driving, roads leading to parking are very narrow.
We were looking for something to fill in our schedule on our last day in Ireland. We decided to head south towards Waterford and then make our way across the Copper Coast.
The views along the Copper Coast are beautiful. Make sure to leave some time to stop at the various beaches and viewpoints along the way. We made 10 stops in total and have a wonderfully relaxing day.
