About this property
The Dunes, Ballinesker, Curracloe, Co Wexford
Set in the beautiful South East of Southern Ireland, with unspoilt sandy beaches which stretch for miles along the coastline, recently featured in the 2016, Oscar nominated move "Brooklyn " and previously in 1998 "Saving Private Ryan". This beautiful thatched 300 year old cob cottage is set in its own ground just the other side of the dune, with the sea 70 steps away from the front gate!
Ballinesker beach is a long sandy beach north of Curracloe, about 15 minutes drive from Wexford. It is a noted beach for bird watching and its fine white sand is rich in seashells. Ballinesker is one of the only beaches in North Wexford that roads runs parallel to the beach. It easily accessible for older people and disabled community.
The Beach is a 3 mile section of a long stretch of sandy coastline extending from the Special Area of Conservation at the Raven Point to Ballyconniger Head, which is approximately 10 miles long. The Beach has an easterly aspect overlooking Wexford Bay and the Irish Sea and is bordered on the west by a line of sand dunes.
Ballinesker Beach has been awarded the Blue Flag Beach 2015
The cosy thatched cottage has a living room with satellite TV, WIFI. Master bedroom with beamed roof. Second Bedroom with double bed and single bed. Kitchen breakfast room. Toilet/shower room with electric shower. Hall area with seating. Extensive gardens with outside shower for washing down after the beach. Bikes, wind surfboard available.
