About Ballyrisode Beach

Ballyrisode Beach is a sandy, sheltered beach located at Toomore in Co Cork and is within a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and a National Heritage Area (NHA). For map orientation, Remote Rocky Island Beach is a separate shoreline feature approximately 6. 3 kilometres from here. Public access is recorded, although the final approach and usable shoreline can still change with tide, weather and local conditions. Do not assume parking, toilets or lifeguard cover; check tide, weather, water conditions and current local notices before entering the water.
