About The Cove West Beach

The Cove West Beach is a coastal beach or shoreline feature on the County Cork coast. This location is mapped independently of The Cove Beach, Baltimore, roughly 250 metres away, with a longest mapped span of about 50 metres. 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.
