We had our dog on a lead as did others , I would say yes , there is no one to stop you .

Amazing in summer, hidden away beach, its not manned by lifeguards so wouldn't recommend swimming personally, it's up to you!

There were some boardwalk-type walks that got you out through the dunes, but to actually get out over the dunes and to the caves, it is all heavy sand. Depending on the time of day if you are able to get over the dunes, the lower sand may be pretty solid due to the tides. Ultimately, it is just how comfortable you are with adventuring. I would probably not recommend it though with the cane.

As far as I am aware you cannot camp here, in the 40 years that I have been coming here, I have never seen a tent. The nearest camping sites would be at Tramore, Rosbeg and Portnoo, both about 10 miles away (which isn't far in this part of the world!) Normally you would book in advance, both are found via google.

There is a parking lot at these coordinates: 54.762501, -8.527440 From there, walk up the road toward a lone farm house. When you get there, there will be a gate to your right. That is the entrance to the beach.
