Rossbeigh

Rossbeigh is a beach that extends roughly 7 kilometers along Dingle Bay with fine sand and dunes throughout. The water is clear and the landscape offers both open beach areas and grass-covered dunes with different sections for swimming and water sports.

The beach has a history spanning centuries shaped by early settlements connected to fishing and trade. In 2008 a notable natural change occurred when a large dune collapsed into the sea creating new tidal formations.

The Tir na Nog playground at the beach references the Irish legend of Oisin and Niamh journeying through ancient Celtic mythology. The name itself means land of youth and connects this place to old stories passed down by generations of visitors.

The southern part of the beach has extensive parking and dedicated swimming areas with lifeguards during summer months. Visitors can access water sports directly and find easy pathways to the beach from several entry points.

The beach is part of a protected area that supports multiple species of seabirds along with natural salmon and clam populations. This mix of recreation and nature conservation makes the place special where human activity and wild habitats coexist.
