This beach is a safe environment for all types of water sports including surfing, kayaking, windsurfing and kite surfing. There is excellent bass fishing at Inch Strand, Bunaneer Strand and Minard Strand, all in the Inch - Annascaul area.

Inch Strand was chosen by David Lean as the beach location for "Ryan's Daughter", while the film "Playboy of the Western World" was shot entirely at Inch. It is three miles of beautiful white sandy beach and is very popular all year round.

Lifeguards are on duty during the bathing season and more information can be found on the notice boards located at the beach.
