Killahoey Beach

2 minutes from the village

A long sweep of sand just below Dunfanaghy, with lifeguards on duty through the summer. Safe swimming at the lifeguarded end and a beautiful flat walk towards Horn Head.

Killahoey is the beach most guests see first: a long, gently curving strand that begins just below Dunfanaghy and runs east towards the dunes at Tramore. The sand is firm and flat at low tide, which makes it an easy walk for children and a fine surface for a morning run.

Lifeguards patrol the main section through the summer, and the shallow slope means the water stays wadeable a long way out. Behind the beach there is a car park, a pitch and putt course, and the first fairways of Dunfanaghy Golf Club.
