About Old Head Bay Beach

Old Head Bay Beach is a coastal beach or shoreline feature on the County Cork coast. The mapped feature spans about 100 metres and sits 560 metres in a straight line from Dooneen Bay, Kilcolman Strand. 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.
