Bunmahon is a superb all round beach in which everyone will find something they love. It is almost 2.5 kilometres long, set in front of a thin band of sand dunes with pebbles at the top and fine dark sand down to the waters' edge and with a small river at the left hand end.

Genuine beach lovers will enjoy the sheltered beach and the view of the headlands and bay. Children are well catered for with an excellent playground behind the beach, lifeguard coverage and fun white water surf to play in. Water sports enthusiasts will love the good quality waves that break as beach breaks across the beach and as distinct peaks against the headlands at each end.

The village of Bunmahon has a good traditional local pub and some takeaway restaurants. Beyond the beach it's the local scenery that provides the other points of interest.
