About Blind Strand (Courtmacsherry)

Blind Strand is a quiet sandy beach sitting right beside Broadstrand under Barry’s Point, a short drive from Courtmacsherry village. It shares the same sheltered, family-friendly character as its better-known neighbour, with plenty of room for games, sandcastles and a walk, and it makes a natural pairing with a visit to Broadstrand. Parking is informal, there is no lifeguard, and facilities are minimal, so come prepared and swim with care. For anyone wanting a little more space and quiet on a busy day, Blind Strand is the local’s choice next door.
