White Bay Beach

This is a secluded little surf strand situated on the east side of Cork Harbour Inlet near Roches Point.

There are rocks either side, but a long cast out at low water puts you close to the main deep shipping channel, which is capable of producing some excellent fishing.

Best fished at night during the flooding tide, but it can produce in daylight at long range. Takes a short surf during south-west to west winds.

You can also fish off the rocks on the right-hand side, but you’re casting mainly onto sand, though there are a few snags. You will hit a fair tide run at long range on the big spring tides.
