Beautiful beach with white sand and crystal clear water

We were looking for a nice beach where we could swim and we were veeery happy when we found this one. It is a beautiful beach, really long, and surrounded by beautiful landscapes. There seem to be jellyfishes all around that area of the coast, so careful if you are planning to swim in the sea! I really recommend stopping in this beach and at least have a walk if you are passing by.

On a warm sunny day in July we had this fantastic beach all to ourselves. With clear calm water and ideal sandcastle sand, it was just perfect.

Knockbrack Court Tomb lies just to the right of the beach. Archaeologically speaking this one is unclassified but is said to be over 4000-years-old

A quiet strand near to Cleggan. Looks like the Caribbean ... but don’t mind the chilly sea.
