In recent years, Rossbeigh Beach has experienced increased and dramatic sand loss; Rossbeigh dunes are eroding at a much faster rate than comparable beaches in Kerry. With much of the beach now only usable at low tides, we are bracing for a loss in tourism which will impact local businesses. If erosion continues at this rate the loss of Rossbeigh will leave shorelines at Cromane, Dooks, Glenbeigh and beyond exposed to much harsher sea states and impact the safety of those communities. Rossbeigh is a legendary ancient landscape and a rare and rich coastal habitat which we should protect for future generations.
We call on Kerry County Council to urgently investigate both the extent and causes of recent erosion at Rossbeigh Beach, and to propose measures to mitigate the damage and protect this unique landscape.
