About Black Strand

Black Strand is a natural beach or shoreline feature on the Clew Bay South Coast in County Mayo. Map geometry keeps this roughly 130 metres-long location separate from Cooltraw Strand, around 280 metres away. The public approach is not established, so use only lawful routes and do not cross private land without permission. Treat it as an unserviced natural shore: do not assume parking, toilets or lifeguard cover, and check tide, weather and sea conditions before entering the water.
