A National Trust dune system and beach near Dundrum, with sandy paths winding through the dunes to a long shoreline beneath the Mournes. Dogs love the dune sniffs and open sand for running and swimming, though as a protected nature reserve leads are needed in places to guard wildlife and ground-nesting birds. Boardwalks, parking and a stunning setting.
