IT'S no secret that the West of Ireland is one of the most popular destinations in the country for staycationing. From Kerry mountains to rugged Connemara and Clare 's dramatic coastline, its no wonder thousands of punters flock there each year. And one of the west's most beautiful spots is Rossbeigh Beach in Glenbeigh, Kerry.
Rossbeigh Beach is located just 1.6 kilometres outside the quaint village of Glenbeigh on the iconic Ring of Kerry. The sandy spot is over 11 kilometres long and is the perfect place to spend a day in the West of Ireland.
And the beach is a regular winner of the coveted Blue Flag award for cleanliness and environmental standards. The gorgeous beach is easy enough to get to, and luckily has a large car park to unload all your beach day needs. Pack up a picnic, swimming gear, and even water sports essentials, and head to Rossbeigh strand.
The beach has the clear water typical of Ireland's west coast, and is safe to swim for those willing to brave the chill. Unlike some beaches, the water at Rossbeigh does not have a steep drop, making it a safe place to swim. And there's a lifeguard on duty in the summer months for extra protection.
It's also one of Ireland's top surfing spots, with windy days bringing with them huge waves ideal for water sports. For those who prefer a day that's a little less fast-paced, simply relax on the sand and take in the view of the coastline. The spot is favourite among visitors, with a 4.
