About this activity
The beach is popular with swimmers and walkers and lies within a naturally rich coastal landscape monitored for water quality as part of Waterford's bathing water network. Surrounding conservation interests include the Ardmore Head Special Area of Conservation (SAC) with vegetated sea cliffs and heathland to the east and the Helvick Head to Ballyquin Special Protection Area (SPA) supporting seabirds and other wildlife nearby. These habitats, along with nearby marshes and coastal ecosystems, make the area valuable for biodiversity and scenic appreciation.
