Place record
Shingle cove at Toe Head, locally known as Trá Leathann
Trá Leathann is a shingle cove at Toe Head in West Cork; Google Maps also labels it Ballyhack Bay Beach. The rocky setting forms part of the Toe Head geological site, where Geological Survey Ireland records ancient coastal sediments and plant fossils. The same report cautions that access to the outcrops is limited by cliffs and potentially energetic sea conditions, so treat this as an exposed coastal visit rather than assuming a managed swimming beach.
