Located in Clonakilty Bay. Also known as 'Castlefreake' the beach lies on the westerly side of Galley Head offering a mixed-up version of Red Strand to the east of the peninsula and a quieter alternative to next-door neighbour Owenahincha.
The waves glide ashore at Red but they crash, bang and wallop on Long so swimming is not recommended and the council have erected numerous angry looking signs to discourage submersion of any kind.
There are some cosy secluded spots on the dunes facing the sea that are very well sheltered from the wind but that still allow you an almost complete view of the beach. You will find naturists close to the dune areas.
