Garrettstown
Garrettstown Strand is the surf beach by Ballinspittle and the Old Head of Kinsale, a South Cork shoreline that matters because it has a real beach identity, surf-school access, and enough coastline to feel like a local surf stop rather than just a scenic cove. The beach and point influence are part of the place, but the surf still reads as a beach-line check. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Garrettstown in County Cork.
