About Garrarus Beach

Garrarus is a quiet, unsignposted horseshoe cove just west of Tramore, where the Copper Coast begins — sea, rock and sky, and rarely anyone else about. Reached by a narrow road just after Fenor, it has a small car park and no cafés or facilities of any kind. It is the local swimmers' quiet morning cove, and wild and dramatic on a storm day. The setting is pure Copper Coast Geopark geology, best appreciated on a walk along the shore.

Nearby beaches

Garrarus is one of a string of quiet Copper Coast coves running west from Tramore, with Annestown and Kilfarrassey close by.
