The beach is a sand spit jutting into the sea between Dingle Harbour and Castlemaine Harbour, where Ryan's Daughter was famously filmed. An extensive sandy beach in a rural environment, the whole area is rich in habitats of flora and fauna and is a natural heritage area and SAC.
"I just wanted to let you know our Ireland trip was fabulous!! Thank you so much! Your recommendation to Adare Manor was a top tip! I went to Ashford Castle as well, it was very very nice to, but my preference is still Adare Manor. I just wish that I had booked 2 nights there instead of just one. The B&Bs were TOP too! Especially the one in Kilkieren up in Galway. Barbara was lovely and couldn't have done more to make our stay memorable. The Hillside House is definately one you can recommend to anyone!" -- Silke
