About Galley Cove

Galley Cove is located at Crookhaven in Co Cork. The beach is around 250m in length and is part of a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and a National Heritage Area (NHA). 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.
