The car park is quite small. Be mindful to not park along the access road, as this can cause traffic obstructions.&nbsp;
The nearby village of Roundstone is full of charm and family-run establishments that offer rooms with views and fresh seafood dishes.

A real hidden gem, Roberts Cove beach is one of the most adored rural seaside spots in Cork. And it's only a 20-minute drive from Carrigaline, too.

Visitors praise its quiet, rural location on the stunning Dingle Peninsula. Just look at that sunset! This photo was taken when the tide was out - the beach is actually quite big and connects to others in the area, such as Derrymore beach to the east.&nbsp;
