About Ballydonegan Beach Allihies
A beautiful beach which was down the hill from Allihies and is the best beach in the locality. While the area provides spectacular views and there are marvellous coves, most of the coves are stony and sandy beaches are relatively rare. The whole coastline here is rugged and rocky and apparently too wild for sand to accumulate.Address : Ballydonegan, Allihies, Co. Cork, Ireland
