Introduction
Red Strand, West Cork, Ireland. Images(©) by Michel Colaci Photography @michelcolaci
Red Strand, near the village of Ardfield is only about 15 minutes from Clonakilty. Unlike its longer neighbour Long Strand, to the West, it is generally suitable for swimming thanks to its gently sloping shoreline and mostly smaller waves (there are exceptions of course). The beach has a great view of Galley Head Lighthouse and is another beautiful beach to visit whether on holidays in West Cork, on your Staycation or for those lucky enough to be living in West Cork.
