Rossbeigh is a 6km stretch of sand located on the south side of Dingle Bay. It’s part of the scenic Ring of Kerry, which makes it a visually appealing spot for surfers and beachgoers alike. The beach is known for its fun, forgiving waves, making it a suitable location for beginners looking to catch their first rides.

The surf here generally works best with a southwesterly swell and can handle swell sizes starting at about 2ft (0.6m). You’ll find both left and right beach breaks, perfect for getting a feel for the waves. The wave action is over sand, which can be a little more forgiving than rocky spots for those still honing their skills. It’s worth noting that the preferable wind direction is from the east, and Rossbeigh can be surfed at low, mid, or high tide, giving you some flexibility in your scheduling.

Access to the surf is from Glenbeigh, and getting to the point where the boulder left-hand break is located requires a long paddle, so be prepared for a workout. Overall, Rossbeigh is an accessible and enjoyable spot for new surfers looking to improve their surfing experience.
