Didn't think you'd be going anywhere so soon :lol:

I don't imagine there's a problem with fishing there at night, just camping, lighting fires, pitching tents, etc.

Safety might be an issue at night, from a tide point of view. Any thoughts on that Mark??

my family have a house in wexford just north of curacloe im down there at least three times a month spent my childhood down on that beach. ravens point is in the middle of nowhere its about a two mile from the start of the forest. the best way two walk is straight down the beach. there are too many footpaths in the forest and most of it is over grown. you probly get lost.there is a parking area just at the start of the forest. i used to own a quad and towards the end of the point it gets very sinky. there are a few laguns very steep edges and dangerous at night.


i would be interested on going down

Any thoughts on what the black buoy above is? There are about 5 in a line- I hope that channel is not being netted

I might wander down at some stage, but I can't tie myself to times this weekend.
