Ballybunion

Updated Sun 11 Oct, 19:36

A sandy beach with fun peaks at any tide and a wave at either end. At the north end, a right takes off in a tight wedge by the cliff and runs down a long, walled-up sand point from mid to high tide, for experts, with a tight local crew. At the south end, a left over boulders is fast and hollow at low tide and mushy at high. The southern beach suits beginners. Offshore in an easterly.
