Doughbeg beach is close to the village, and is very safe for swimming. It is ideal for picnicking, and walking on its long beach of sandy terrain.
Doughmore Beach:
Doughmore beach takes its name from the sand dunes surrounding it. Its magnificent 1½ km long sandy beach is a surfer’s paradise. Picnicking and walking are also favoured but swimming is discouraged.
White Strand Beach:
The White Strand, Killard is a popular and very safe sandy beach for swimming. The White Strand Beach faces towards the Northeast and is therefore sheltered from the prevailing winds. The sandy beach, which slopes gently to low water, is flanked on either side by low rocky cliffs and these provide additional shelter to the strand. The view from White Strand Beach looks across to Doughmore Strand.
