Quiet beach parking, seasonal barrier

Height barriers were up when we pulled up on Monday 20th July. Sign states until mid September,

Great wee spot for over night however we did use the grass area to right just before enter the hard standing carpark as the weather was lovely and wanted to try leave as much car parking spaces as possible so we set up out the way along with 5 other vans. Great spot but windy even in a good day. Water there, portaloo which are serviced everyday. We used local butchers in shop for meets and milketc

Not a bad place for the night. Easy for going to the beach and close to the local village, where we got breakfast. It has bins and is supposed to have water but it wasn’t working when we were there in late June. A little exposed in bad weather.

No height barrier yet on 26th June! Nice park up to visit the beach and walk into town but didn't stay the night.

Perfect place for a peaceful night. Beautiful beach a few steps away. Small town within walking distance which had all amenities. We cycled Horn Head which was great and did the loop walk at the top. Plenty of other vans stayed too. Take advantage before the height barriers come in from June.

Great place. The water point is next to the waste bins.

Lovely place to stay. The barrier was open which was good but still quite full so understandable it’s closed in high season. Very close to a great beach, quiet with a waste bin but nothing else. Recommended if the barrier is open.

just arrived barrier opened. nice spot. barrier closes june to September, which is understandable.

Dreamy parkup! Water tap, beautiful beach, super quiet at night. Height barrier was open when we went.. woohoo!

Brilliant park up. We stayed 3 nights from 11th September and just happened to be a music festival on in the town which made it even better. Amazing beach friendly locals. Fresh water tap there also not a screw tap though so you need a container or bottle to collect water. Hight barrier not in use vans or all sizes there

Stayed 3 nights, very peaceful and nice place to sit out some horrid weather. Porta loos gone as it is the end of the season. Lovely walk around the coast on the beach into town where there are some public toilets which open Tuesday-Sunday 8am (not sure of closing time) plenty of rubbish bins and recycling for glass and cans. Parking area is hard standing.

Very beautiful place with a huge beach. Quite a few local dog walkers, but very quiet at night during this rainy period. Portable toilets and bins in place until mid-September. The 2-metre barrier was open.

Very beautiful beach

What a fabulous location. Has two chemical toilets, waste bins, recycling (which are all regularly serviced) a water tap and the height barrier is open. Used regularly by locals for dog walking and swimming so please keep the place clean and tidy and park suitably. It is immediately on the beach which is spectacular and huge! Had a very peaceful and safe nights sleep along with another six vans.

Used to be a lovely spot,whilst staying we watched 13 motorhomes from one group roll in & park for the night, locals had few left, & the one trash can was overflowing, now the barrier was being used last week after 7pm, maybe large groups travelling together should go into organised sites and pay for parking as the groups are spoiling this privilege, we are getting this feeling all over Ireland

What a beach, probably best we have been on around the wild Atlantic Way. Huge beach , so beautiful. Does have height barrier as mentioned but as others have said it was open and we stopped for a beach walk and dog walk. Highly recommended to see the beach

Great spot for the night. No barrier when I was there (24/06/2025)

Barrier still open 11/07/25. Great area for an over night stop. Bin, water tap, portaloo type toilets, short distance to the beach. Quiet and wasn’t overly busy even though there was warm weather. 10-15 minute walk to the town area.

great spot. parked on grassy area beside the car park which was set back from the lane and quieter. lovely beach for morning and evening swims. clean toilets. the barrier was open and there were about a dozen campervans in total.

Barrier still open. Staying here seems to be accepted; two large motorhomes appear to be parked permanently. The night was quiet, with cars coming and going during the day. Great beach access, bins, portable toilets and even a small tap with fresh water.

Fortunately still no height barrier.

Beautiful parking area, currently still without a height restriction. Quite busy. Toilets (portable toilets) and water available. Relatively quiet at night.

Large parking area. Lots of traffic because the beach is nearby. Toilet and bin.

Spent the night of 22 May here, on the grassy area, quieter than the cars coming and going. Large beach. The 2-metre barrier was open when we visited. Many dog walkers.

Come across the golf course via tarmac road then opens up to car park. No toilets now but fresh water. Walk straight to a beautiful beach. Spent one night and we were all on our own. Very very quite lovely sleep. Toilets are 3 mins away in small town by the pier. ( Dunfanaghy) No vans over 2 meters from 1st June to 1st September. 4 star as now no toilets but a lovely place to stay .

Excellent beach. Water tap and bins. We didn’t park here for the night as it was quite packed seeing it was Easter weekend, but filled up with water and parked while we walked the dog. Much quieter Tuesday. We parked at the new car park on the edge of town, also spot on. Great Easter weekend. Lots of eateries and pubs to choose from. Spot on place
