About Ballinesker Beach

Ballinesker is part of the great Curracloe strand on the north Wexford coast, a broad Blue Flag beach of golden sand and dunes. Lifeguarded in summer, it is a popular spot for swimming and beginner surfing, with a surf school nearby. As part of a long continuous beach with a tidal drift, swimming is safest between the lifeguard flags.
