Carnsore Point Beach

Carnsore Point Beach

Features

Carnsore Point Beach is an isolated sandy beach on the south east coast of County Wexford, Ireland.

The windswept beach may make an ideal filming location for scenes that need a lonely, rugged, but appealing shoreline. The surrounding area is fairly undeveloped, with only the Carnsore Wind Farm in the vicinity. This isolation gives the beach a sombre atmosphere. The wind turbines of the power station overlook the beach and give it a one of a kind backdrop. Carnsore Point faces the Celtic Sea on one side and St George’s Channel on the other.

The beach itself is sandy and good looking. It has a pleasant curving shape and a series of grass dunes. The beach is very wide and is part of a series of beaches that continues for kilometres along the coast.
