Ballyconnigar Beach

Ballyconnigar Beach, also known as The Raven, is a quiet, unspoiled sandy beach on the Wexford coast, part of the Raven Nature Reserve. It's ideal for families seeking a peaceful day out away from crowded resorts. Highlights: Gentle sloping sands, shallow waters for paddling, and extensive sand dunes to explore. The adjacent nature reserve offers walking trails through pine forests and dunes, with opportunities to spot birds and wildlife. Ages: Suitable for all ages, from toddlers building sandcastles to teens exploring the dunes. The calm waters are safe for young swimmers. Facilities: Limited – no lifeguards, toilets, or cafes directly on the beach. Visitors should bring their own food, drink, and sun protection. Parking is available a short walk away. Practical Tips: Check tide times as the beach can be cut off at high tide. Arrive early to secure parking, especially on warm weekends. The beach is dog-friendly year-round.
