Long sweep of sand on the north side of the Dingle Peninsula, from Brandon Point to the Maharees, and Ireland's best-known windsurf wave spot. Atlantic swell wraps into the bay, and the beach changes angle along its length, so some stretch usually works. Kiters and surfers come too. Facilities are few, so bring what you need, and watch for rip currents on big days.
