    For all of us non-car owners, what is the closest beach to the city by bus?

    Fountainstown +1 (although the weather is not very promising this weekend and Fountainstown is not a very sandy beach)

    I see that a beach at Kinsale Marina just won a blue flag for the first time. No idea what that is like but must be fairly decent and would be closer by bus than Youghal

    Fountainstown is still closer and the bus takes you right there whereas the bus wouldn't take you right to the Kinsale beach.

    What about Palm Beach on the straight rd?

    Fountainstown is probably the easiest beach to get to by bus. If you follow the road down passed the bus stop for maybe 1/2 mins walk the beach is much nicer.
    The dock beach in kinsale, mentioned above is another lovely beach but is small and gets really busy on the first sign of sun. Its a long walk from any bus stop tho. Your only option would be bus to kinsale and taxi out to it.

    Myrtleville is close enough, Youghal is a nicer beach I would definitely choose Youghal before Myrtleville
