Season: autumn
Measuring over twelve kilometres in length, the Big Strand beach runs from the north at Laggan Point via the airport down to Kintra. As a result, Laggan Bay and Kintra are also names used to describe this strand. Water sports are popular, including kayaking, yachting, and surfing. The tides can be a bit testing, so although it’s safe to swim, stay near the shore. Finally, there’s always a magnificent sunset to enjoy on this west-facing beach.
