Visited this beach for a quick dip while on a stag weekend with a large group. It was exactly the medicine we needed after cycling from Waterford. If you are doing the Greenway cycle make sure you visit Clonea Beach!

Lovely beach ! Unfortunately we had a campervan and there is absolutely nowhere to park . A very large field owned by a local shop allows car parking but not campers . We asked permission to park for an hour or two to get a walk and swim and then move on . We were more than willing to pay whatever was asked - but flatly refused. It was mid week and the field was almost empty.
Whatever happened to Ireland of the welcomes !!
If you have a campervan stay away from this area.

Great beach. Roomy beach with plenty of space for people even on a busy sunny day. Water shallow for a good bit so very safe for all the family to swim in. Water v clean. Small shop sells fast food and other newsagent supplies including ice creams!

Love this beach. Has to be one of the nicest in the country. It’s a blue flag beach. It’s well kept and has some great amenities. Has public toilets and outdoor showers. Great shops and chippers. Great parking faculties. It’s just a shame that the hotel in run badly and not open to the public. It has an amazing campsite 5 star well run and has everything u would need. The beach though is amazing. Great access for everyone with ramps at all sides of the beach. Great water sports activities that run camps in the summer. Life guards have a great set up there. The beach is long and gave different sections. Past the rocks at the east side of the beach just past the Newline car park there is smaller part of the beach that is quiet and perfect for nudist to hang out.

Big beach, plenty of space to spread out safely from people.
The water is clean and doesn't get deep too quickly.
Excellent toilet facilities at either end of the beach. Always clean and well-stocked.

Lovely long beach for a good walk. People were very responsible so no litter or concerns about social distancing. The sound of the waves was very soothing. I sat at the picnic table eating delicious hot chips from the local store. Perfect afternoon. I understand that services are more limited due to covid 19 but the walk would be more pleasant if the seaweed was cleared off the beach.

Nice little beach a short drive from the town and just off the Greenway. Ideal for blowing off the cobwebs after a few pints.

I am traveling with my very spry 87 yr old mom. Where would you suggest to park to be closest to the beach and is there a steep slope and/or many steps to the beach. ? lastly are there restrooms in the area?

The Gold Coast hotel has a private car park access directly beside the beach. They will give you the code to the gate at the car park. There is a proper walkway/footpath to the beach and restrooms are on this walkway.
