Additional Information
main rule is be patient. she doesnt always produce the goods but wait when the swell comes it is cool.park in the car park or up on the road if you feel adventurous the carpark does get full in summer
Atmosphere
this beach is the most beautiful place in ireland couple that with great waves and you have an orgasmic setting. you are also guaranteed to grab some female attention as you walk down the beach as surfing is still pretty exotic here. i stress again that patience is needed so bring the sun screen to catch a few rays though rain jacket is probably more useful. the woodcock in nearby ballydehob is the place to go to quench your thirst
General
if this spot was a woman...... forgive me for getting carried awaybut thats how much i love the place

Small Beach - Head there this Sunday morning comming 04/03/07 with SE winds and a storm off shore it will be one of a rare number of spots that will work on South Coastand it should be good if a bit scary on the smaller beach.

..... - Not worth the trip down. Nice beach but for the amount of driving you do you might as well go to kerry or clare, where the quality and consistency is far better.
