Baginbun is located a few kilometres beyond the town of Fethard and is a very attractive, secluded beach.

A rough track brings you down to the soft sand which is surrounded by cliffs. The whole beach is quite sheltered and there are various rocks to hide behind if it gets windy.

The water here is nice and fresh and even at low tide there is enough depth for your swim.

The car park here is rough and small. The beach isn’t wheelchair accessible and you will have to carry your buggy.

    Although it’s 18Β°C outside and the tide is out, the beach is very pleasant today and swimming is perfect.
