    Just wondering could anybody advise as to where the nearest beach would be to Watergrasshill, Co.Cork and how far of a journey time that beach would be?

    You're probably looking at an east Cork beach so Youghal, Garryvoe, Shanagarry. Journey time would be about an hour

    Wouldn't Fountainstown be a bit closer. You would get to Carrigaline very quickly from Watergrasshill and it isn't too far from there

    Probably would. I've never been to that beach so it wasn't in my head

    Inch is another option, its near whitegate and Id guess is closest at least without going through city.

    Good point. East Cork beaches would be much nicer and probably only about 10minutes further away

    In relation to Fountainstown I would imagine he meant!

    Barley cove from watergrasshill must be over 2 hours!

    Garryvoe certainly best bet from Watergrasshill. 45 mins tops.
