    In the same direction....Beach just before Ballycotton (Ballynamona) to shanagarry beach to Garryvoe beach and keep on running east towards Ballymacoda beach . An epic run..with Ballycotton lighthouse in constant view. Just be sure to take a look at the tide tables as its a much better run with the tide on the way out. Bing-map it and you can't go wrong !

    Cork is a big county, with nearly 100km of coastline.....whereabouts in particular are you heading for?

    Heading west, you have Garretstown & Garrylucas; Inchydoney, Long Strand, Owenahincha, plus a host of shorter beaches. More further west.

    I will be staying in Carrigaline so anywhere near there I suppose, don't mind a drive though !

    Garretstown & Garrylucas are probably the best so....Carrigaline to Kinsale and on to Garretstown, about 7 or 8 miles further on. Check tides before you go! Beaches are reasonably long, but you'll still have to do a fair number of laps to get the distance in.

    Inchydoney, just 3 miles from Clonakilty, is the next nearest. If the tide is out you can may both beaches there in the one go, giving you about (guessing) 0.75-1 mile each way.
