Ballinskelligs Beach

July 2009

Ballinskelligs is a real family beach with some decent facilities. The beach itself is curved and nice and sandy. The water is clear and there is a gentle slope into the sea.

At one end of the beach there is a ruined tower which you access across a stream. It looks like a good place for kids to explore. At the entrance to the beach itself there is a nice coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating

Ballinskelligs has lifeguards in the summer, a decent car park and public toilets. The beach appears to be reasonably accessible.

Blue Flag beach.
