The long stretch of white sand at Traigh Shanndaigh makes it a popular site for both local and visiting surfers! There is a car park with picnic tables, and refreshments are available nearby at the Eoropie Dunes Play Park, adjacent to the parking area. The sand dunes and the waves here make it a brilliant photographic subject all year round.

Traigh Shanndaigh is a popular beach for walkers, families, children and swimmers, however swimmers must be aware of the strong current and undertow when the sea is rough.
