Barley Cove
Edit SpotAbout
if this spot was a woman...... forgive me for getting carried awaybut thats how much i love the place
Atmosphere:
this beach is the most beautiful place in ireland couple that with great waves and you have an orgasmic setting. you are also guaranteed to grab some female attention as you walk down the beach as surfing is still pretty exotic here. i stress again that patience is needed so bring the sun screen to catch a few rays though rain jacket is probably more useful. the woodcock in nearby ballydehob is the place to go to quench your thirst
Additional Info:
main rule is be patient. she doesnt always produce the goods but wait when the swell comes it is cool.park in the car park or up on the road if you feel adventurous the carpark does get full in summer
