    This place is just wonderful. Take your time to go up the cliff, and the view from there is stunning. The beach itself is small, but nice view from there to the cliffs. Parking is good. Two bars with sit outs. Good place to take stunning photos.

    Amazing place for picnic and enjoy the sun. They have the small bar near by. The water wasn’t so clean for the swimming, it’s better to swim further to enjoy the crystal sea swim, but still beautiful.

    A lovely and pleasant place to visit. Takeaway tea and coffee facility and lovely walkway and picnic area. Better facility for wheelchairs and buggies. Slightly dirty near the entrance. There are bins located nearby

    If you love nature, landscape and the ocean then go check out Roberts Cove on an early morning to catch the sunrise. Awesome.

    If getting down in water beware of jelly fish infestation. Calm and quiet place. There are few eateries around. Need to revisit this place again. I missed a view point from the top.

    Beautiful place to visit and go for a swim even of you feel eternally in shallow water. Ideal spot to bring young kids compared to large beaches and if crowded may loose sight. Here you almost couldn't miss them. Small beach area yet still enough space for kids to roam free while in the sight of the their parents. On a fine day almost second to none. Strongly recommend Roberts Cove.

    Roberts Cove is a magical place. A safe beach for swimming, beautiful local scenery and cliff top walks, a friendly local bar open all year round, definitely worth a visit

    Nice little beach in a sheltered cove just a half hour's drive from Cork. Nice loop walks for the adventurous both by road and by cliff. Pub and restaurant nearby. Parking available, although it can get a bit tight on fine days during the summer.

    Absolutely stunning views, one of my favourite beaches in co. Cork. Parking can be challenging.

    Safe sheltered inlet in a beautiful location. Great for swimming, paddling and canoeing. Fabulous sandy beach at low tide, rather small at full tide.

    Roberts Cove is one of my favourite beach in east Irish coast, is very lovely and cozy, the water is nice and the walk is superb, going through fields of crops and yellow and green and the water on the other side, you are bathing in colors and the saline air freshness. Suggest everyone to go there when is raining and even better when is sunny. There are a couple of bars and lack of parking spot, so I suggest to go before 12 usually you manage still to find a spot, and there is a wonderful green hill on the side allowing you to picnic if you don't want to go for a swim, the place is perfect for every intention you might have for a nice adventure

    Stunningly beautiful❤️ A gorgeous spot for a safe swim. 2 lovely pubs in the village, cliff walk to Roberts Head is class!

    Nice little beach, best to visit during off-peak time and during high tide.

    Beautiful peaceful day walking the Cliffs near Robert's Cove, West Cork, Ireland 🇮🇪

    Beautiful small cove with sandy beach when tide is out about 30 minute drive from Cork city. Water is shallow and has a gentle gradient. Car park available about 50 metres from Cove. Great walks with fantastic views above the beach. Village has 2 bars for refreshments.

    Lovely cove water is much warmer as its sheltered sand is lovely a lot of see weed at the moment but still nice day out. The pub landlord needs a lesson in tourism skills didn't know what time the restaurant next door opened (there's only 2 spots there). Wouldn't let the child use the bathroom as he was cleaning 🚽😂 the place was spotless and that is why pubs are on the decline sadly

    Nice beach , but very small , good for toddlers ( I would imagine) limited .. but when it’s quite , it’s a great spot

    Nice location with an interesting cliff walk but can be tricky to access during the busy summer months, particularly on sunny weekends.

  • 5/5 Declan K. 2 years ago on Google
    Went for a walk along the cliffs. Not well signposted so ask around if you're unsure. It is a popular beauty spot, worth bring a camera if you're interested in seascapes and landscapes. Bring a picnic if you like but not suitable for barbecue given the wind, terrain and vegetation. You do cross farmland so respect the privilege leave it as you find it. After the initial climb it levels out, moderately fitness required.
