The place

About Old Bawn Beach

Old Bawn Beach is on the east coast of County Wexford, 5 Kilometres South East of Ballygarrett village. The Beach is a 3 kilometre section of a long stretch of sandy coastline extending south from Cahore Point and includes part of the Cahore Polders and Dunes National Heritage Area. The overlapping Newtown source geometry is consolidated here as the official Old Bawn section of this long sandy coast. Public access is recorded, but the usable shore and final approach can still change with tide, weather and local conditions. 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.
