Bathers are advised not to play or swim in the general vicinity of the Rocky Area near the Carpark due to a Rodent Infestation. Bathers are also advised to take caution while on the beach & in the wider area. An authorised contractor has laid bait on the beach & will continue to carry out inspections/lay bait as necessary until the issue has been resolved.

Dursey Cable Car will resume normal operations from tomorrow the 16th of August 2023. Cork County Council would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.

In consultation with the HSE, Cork County Council has lifted the Advisory Notice Not to Swim from Youghal Front Strand with immediate effect. The water quality has returned to excellent status following analysis of samples taken over the last few days.

In consultation with the HSE an Advisory Notice Not to Swim has been issued for Youghal Front Strand, due to high levels of bacteria in samples taken on Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th of July 2023. The likely cause is localized heavy rainfall. The bathing water is currently being re-sampled and updated results will be posted as soon as possible on www.beaches.ie and at the Notice Board at Youghal Front Strand.
