Red Strand and Galley Head

Posted on Posted in Day trips, TRIPS

Red Strand is a gorgeous long sandy beach only a stones throw from Clonakilty. It looks out onto the magnificent lighthouse at Galley Head. We will do a walk of the beach here then do a walk along the coast by Galley Head.

This lighthouse is now used as holiday accomodation for the discerning lighthouse lover. A beautiful walk along the headland here shows dramatic cliffs and quiet coves below. The walk is easy enough and will take 2 -2.5 hours at a relaxed pace.
