This beach, the longest in Ireland, stretches for 19km around the wonderful Brandon Bay. Several paths lead down to the beach from the road to Fahamore on the headland of Castlegregory. Offshore at the north end of the Strand lie the Magharee Islands, also known as The Seven Hogs. At low tide it is possible to walk from Illauntannig, the largest island on which there is an early Christian monastery, to Reennafardarrig Island.
