Tragumna is a small coastal settlement west of Skibbereen, on a sheltered south-facing bay between Union Hall and Castletownshend. The beach is long and sandy and, compared to the more obvious West Cork strands, relatively undiscovered.
There are no facilities at the beach itself — no café, no lifeguard in most seasons, no car park with facilities. Bring what you need. Skibbereen is 12km northeast. Castletownshend is 8km east along the coast road.
Wear waterproofs. Bring a sandwich. Tell someone where you're going if it's the mountain.
Off the R596 between Skibbereen and Castletownshend. Minor road to the beach — easy to miss, follow signs or OS maps.
