The most amazing beach with a choice of paddling/swimming in the tidal stream or the sea. Spectacular scenery and walks to be had along the long strand. Check if the pontoon bridge is in place before…Full review by catherinebF8891KI

Barleycove is not accessible. There are not many accessible beaches in this part of West Cork but the best bet option might be Ballyrisode since the beach is more or less at the same level as the road but parking in that area in summer can be difficult. Another one to take a look at on google maps might be Galley Cove .. which is again more or less at the same level as the car park. I hope this helps.
We are visiting West Cork for 10 days in August with our Labrador - are looking for beaches where dogs can be off the lead - even if it's only at certain times of the day.

The weather in the early part of September can often be quite good, just as the kids go back to school. As September is the start of autumn/fall the days are getting shorter and temperatures dropping to 14-18C. As this beach is on the south western coast of Ireland it receives the first of the weather coming across the Atlantic, which is often high winds and rain! If that happens on your visit there are some nice pubs/restaurants in Crookhaven a 5 min drive away.
