Barleycove is a large sandy beach backed by sand
dunes. The sand dunes were thrown up in the tidal wave that swept
Europe after the earthquake in Lisbon in 1755.
Today they have been partially eroded but they are
protected like much of the coast round this area as European
designated Special Areas of Conservation. The road goes to the east of
the beach across a causeway bisecting Lissagriffin Lakes and at the
T-junction you turn left to Mizen Head. .
