First i must say i see many negative reviews are relating to the carpark. The local family try to charge tourists but won’t tell them it is illegal to charge people to access public land (the beach is public land and you therefore have right of way.) simply do not bring money with you and tell them you have right of way. They will try and argue it but if you have no money there’s nothing they can do. Or just park on the road beside the car park. In terms of the beach itself, is not safe for swimming but Beautiful unspoilt beach and fabulous drive up past the assaranca waterfall.

Be prepared to meet a man demanding money to park. The new parking area has NO signage, ticket booth or resident staff. It was therefor a shock to be asked to pay for parking by a man who happened to be at his sheep shed at the top field. I had no idea who he was- he doesn't state he owns the car park! I have seen several people be accosted by this man and have had to return some way to their cars for money. This is illegal without clear or ANY signage to demand money so refuse! The beach is well worth a visit and some caves are still accessible at low tide but the car park charging is nefarious in the extreme!

Lovely beach but do not pay the local looking to make a quick buck from anyone parking. It’s a public beach. Wouldn’t mind paying if it was done right. Not a bin in the park to dispose of dog poo bags etc. I didnt pay him anyway and told him where to go.

We knew we would be driving by here as we made our way along the coast, so we checked the tide tables and planned our visit for low tide so we could easily enter the caves. It was fun to explore the caves instead of just looking out at more cliffs and beautiful views (lol). Too bad there weren't any shipwrecks (visit Inis Oírr) or treasure chests, but we had a great time imagining someone probably did hide out here. Allow for at least a few hours in good weather. We parked in the little lot next to the sheep field and I wish I had read the reviews that state you don't have to pay to park, but 3 Euros was a small price to pay for such an amazing experience.

Yes there is a man looking for money for the car park. Who cares. The cost of the car park is so worth it. A massive beach, clean, clear water, sand that makes you want to build a sandcastle. Rocks to climb on, rocks to climb into. The sheep are still better climbers than me, but I made it to watch the sea. Needs a coffee van in one of the caves though just to finish the place off. Definitely a good spot
