The charming fishing village of Clogherhead has one of County Louth's Blue Flag Beaches, known locally as 'The Little Strand'. This white sandy beach has stunning views and is a a popular destination to relax and unwind, especially during the summer months.

The beach is Lifeguard patrolled during the bathing season, and Lifeguard times can be found on the information notice board.

To the left of the beach is Clogherhead headland, the only high, rocky headland on the east coast between the Mournes in Northern Ireland and Howth in County Dublin. The headland is of significance for its geology and is listed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty because it supports rare, coastal heathland vegetation.

Amenities: Car park and toilets. Shops and restaurants within walking distance.
