Beautiful wide sandy beach backed by dunes, with plenty of space for sandcastles, paddling, beach games and long family walks. The River Bann and dramatic headland scenery make it particularly picturesque, while nearby coastal paths offer opportunities to extend your adventure towards Downhill and Mussenden Temple. A brilliant beach for a relaxed family day, picnic or sunset walk.
