Rossbeigh is a 6km spit of sand on the south side of Dingle Bay, marking the start of the scenic Ring of Kerry. The main draw is a run of fun beachbreaks, with a boulder left-hand point tucked up at the north end for anyone willing to make the long paddle out to it.
When It Works
The beachbreaks peel both left and right over sand and pull in swell from southwest through west, with southwest the best match. It works from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 3 m / 10 ft.
Wind and Tide
Look for an east offshore wind to clean things up. The banks can work through most of the tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
With mellow waves breaking over sand, this is a friendly place to learn and a solid pick for beginners.
Access
Reach the break from Glenbeigh, where you'll find free roadside parking and camping close by. Bear in mind the point at the north end is a long paddle from shore.
