MountainViews.ie picture about Black Rock (1) — Picture: *Black Rock and the tombolo*

Long walk from car along beach

by Fergalh 25 Jun 2023

Park at A (G637 507) on Streedagh Beach. Walk north east along beach until you reach the tombolo at B (G657 527). Walk along centre of the tombolo where it is not as slippy. A small minor scramble leads to the high point with good views along the beach and coastline. Around 3.2 km from the car to Black Rock's high point, as always check the tide as the tombolo can be quite narrow or non existent ! Linkback: mountainviews.ie/island/2079/comment/23996/

A cool little summit taken in a circuit from Conor Pass. As Adrian Hendroff said one of Dingles best kept secrets. He’s right
