Maghermore
Edit SpotAbout
One of the most naturally beautiful beaches in the country. Sometimes ruined by litter from Beach parties. Bring Your Rubbish Home!!
Additional Info:
There is a small headland on the right of the beach which jacks up waves coming from the South and East. East coast is only ever big if it is onshore and often messy however the headland does give some vital wind shelter which can help.
