Myrtleville Beach is the closest beach to Cork City and ideal to get to the coast for an hour.
This beautiful beach is a mix of sand and pebbles. It has a small walkway where you can go for a relaxing stroll and take in some amazing views. Also very popular with swimmers all year round. If you fancy a longer walk, facing the sea, take the coastal road and walk past the popular restaurant towards Fountainstown beach. From there you can continue onto Ringabella Creek on a quiet public road and then do a loop around a sand bar
Although there’s no official beach car park the approach road is wide and can facilitate lots of cars on either side.
