Ireland
The north coast of the Dingle peninsula is a golden necklace of beaches reached by those narrow lanes that get narrower and narrower and have grass growing down the middle and potholes which threaten exhaust systems.
Walk the strand for an hour at Castlegregory on a hot July afternoon and work off a lunch of seafood chowder from a little bar in the village. The only other sign of life is a pair of squabbling gulls which follow hopefully.
Rossbeigh is an amazing beach. It sticks out at right angles from the Iveagh peninsula like a finger; so, one side of the beach has crashing Atlantic breakers and the other is like a warm lagoon.
It has huge sand dunes and an amazing view over towards Dingle and Inch strand which is opposite, but not as nice as Rossbeigh. Facing west it has gorgeous sunsets too.
Rossbeigh Strand is located 1 mile from Glenbeigh on the ring of Kerry. It's about 20 miles from Killarney/Tralee and Kerry (Farranfore) airport is about 30 minutes away by car.
