Improvements are being planned for one of the most popular beaches in Co Cork, including the removal of dangerous iron girders, excess sand on the roadway, the upgrading of disabled access, and hopefully the addition of new parking spaces.

A meeting of the Bandon/Kinsale municipal district council heard calls from several councillors for the need to improve facilities at Garretstown beach, near Kinsale.
