About Garnish Beach, Lehanmore
Garnish is a sheltered Green Coast beach at Lehanmore on the Beara Peninsula in West Cork, a small, calm strand looking out to the islands and the Skelligs beyond. With accessible toilets and changing facilities, it is one of the better-served remote beaches, though there is no lifeguard so swimming should be taken with care. A beautiful, peaceful beach at the tip of the wild Beara Peninsula.
