Coney Island is probably one of the few islands anywhere in Ireland that can be reached entirely on foot. There are other options – plenty of cars head out across the strand at low tide, and boats cross over from Rosses Point – but the best way of all is to walk there, it’s easy to access, fun for the kids and a great alternative to crowded beaches on a sunny afternoon. Search online for the tide times so as not to get stranded!!
