Not really a wave beach but ideal for some good kite sessions. Shallow water especially in high tide. There are some rocks on the far left and right of the spot, that can be seen at low tide. That doesn't really represent a danger as the rock as long we know where they are.

Take the N25 from Cork towards Waterford. At Midleton, take right at the roundabout, then past the petrol station, turn left (with the sign Ballycotton), turn left again after few meters. Keep on this road till the little village of Cloyne where you turn left at the crossroad. Keep driving (you're now on the R629) till the next station and turn right just before it. Drive half a mile or so then take next left to a little road that lead to the beach. You should see a small island in front of you with a lighthouse. Parking is available.
