Beach Guide

Hazards

There is a stoney reef right in the middle of the beach. It only starts to show at mid-tide, and is located opposed the tennis club building.

Beach Access

Free car park just off the road, with a big grass area to pump up and change. Toilets are at the far end of the car park. It\'s located on the South East edge of the Ards Peninsula, about 30 mins drive south of Newtownards, 45 mins from Belfast. A Google maps search for Cloughey Golf Club gets you there. You can\'t see the beach from the road, just the green and car park.
