The tide at Rathtrevor plays a huge part in how big the beach is and at low tide, the ocean recedes almost a kilometer allowing for fun family exploration. When the tide comes back up it brings in some lukewarm water that is great for swimming and is shallow enough for the kids to play in without worry.
