Waves, works at all tides. If there is no wind, it's a good surfing beach too. Not the ideal place for beginners and body dragging as the shore break can be formidable.

 How to get there
Transport:
- Car
Access:
- Short Walk


Get there by car. Drive from Bridgeown eastwards towards Oistins and further east to Long Bay. Long Beach is all of a fifteen minute walk up the beach (East) from Silver Sands. If you take a cab make sure you say Long Beach and not Long Bay which is quite an expensive cab ride further and riddled with cliffs and rocks.
