Beaches and the water

Marble Hill Strand

5 minutes from Portnablagh

A sheltered, gently shelving beach on the Portnablagh side of the bay. Calm water, soft sand and easy parking make it a favourite with families, swimmers and kayakers.

Marble Hill is the calm side of Sheephaven Bay: a sheltered, gently shelving beach on the Portnablagh shore, with soft sand and water that stays flat even when the wind is up elsewhere.

Families and swimmers tend to prefer it for exactly that reason, and kayakers use it as an easy launch point. The car park is a few steps from the sand, so a picnic and a paddleboard can be carried down without a trek.
