Cycling
Located in the shelter of Melmore Head, you will find this spectacular beach. With its fine golden sand and crystal-clear, almost turquoise water, Melmore Beach looks non-Irish on sunny days. It is the perfect place where the rugged Atlantic Drive briefly comes to rest. Photo tip: Photograph from the elevated road towards the bay to capture the beach's crescent shape and the water's colour gradations.

Hiking
The road passes along the shoreline past the beach in front of Melmore. There are interesting granite rocks in the bay which are worth a small detour to go and explore.
