The place
About Owenahincha, Little Island Strand
Owenahincha, Little Island Strand is an official sandy beach backed by dunes near Rosscarbery. The official profile warns that the exposed shore can experience very strong wave action, rip tides and strong currents, so this is not a place to judge swimming safety from appearance alone. Parking, toilets and seasonal lifeguard provision are recorded. Check current flags, water-quality notices and local advice before entering the sea.
