Situated on the coastline of East County Cork, there is no town in Ireland that gives you Ireland's past and present more vividly than Youghal (pronounced Yawl or as in "Y'all come to see us now!")

This historic walled seaport town adjoins a glorious 5km beach of Atlantic Surf. It has been recently designated by the Irish Tourism Board as an Irish Heritage Port, due to the many historic buildings and monuments within its ancient town walls.

The miles and miles of sandy beach are a special attraction, both for swimming and picnicking in the Summer and for those enjoyable and exhilarating long walks in Winter. Youghal boasts two Blue Flags (E.U. Standard of excellence). A section of this beach is supervised by trained lifeguards throughout the Summer.
