Description
Aughris head beach is a stunning remote beach which can be reached by following the Aughris Head looped walk. Where the beach is very exposed to the elements, it can get quite rough and windy. But on a sunny, calm day, it is paradise. Within the rocks are some small caves, the beach itself is mainly stones.
The beach slopes down steeply into the Atlantic making it dangerous enough when not familiar with the water or area. But sitting down on the beach admiring the scenery is worth the walk.
Above the beach on the headland is an ancient promontory fort.
Beach: stones
Sports: sea kayaking, snorkeling, fishing
Swimming: No lifeguard - only recommended on a really calm day = experienced swimmers only (with partner)
