My family set out to find this sandy beach so the kids could run around and play, but the weather worsened as we approached this remote blue flag beach. It has a lifeguard on duty during the summer months and public toilets. Unfortunately, we didn't get to walk on the beach because it started raining, much to the extreme disappointment of the kids who were already dressed in their swim costumes when we left the holiday home. By the time I took a few photos, I was already damp and had to return to the car. Sadly, this beach is also known as the site where remains from a significant cold case were discovered. Nearby, you can visit Cahergall Stone Fort, Leacanabuaile Ring Fort, Ballycarbery Castle, the Top of the Rock viewing point, or another beach called Cuas Crom. We saw Cahergall Stone Fort from the road but didn't explore it due to the bad weather. We would definitely return on a nicer day. For fish lovers, O'Neills the Point seafood bar is a must-visit and is just 15 minutes away from Whitestrand beach.
