Tramore beach is 5km long with high sand dunes but it is also very stony particularly near the promenade so for a more sandy feel it is best to walk towards the other end of the beach.

There is also a huge metal pipe running at right angles from the beach out to sea....it can make for a nice surprise when bodydragging. Popular with surfers too and the beach gets very busy in the summer
