Sandy beach, dunes and protected little tern nesting areas on the Irish east coast—excellent for coastal landscapes, shorebird behaviour and intimate waterscapes. Visit spring–early summer for breeding activity; sunrise and late evening offer warm side-light and calmer seas. Follow Trust signage: stay on boardwalks, observe fenced nesting zones and no-drone rules. Small car park at Baltray; paths are short and mostly flat but bring waterproof shoes for dune fringes.
