We parked up on inch beach for a couple of nights one time. I was a bit apprehensive about the tides. If you don’t park back far enough you is the tide. Park too far back in the white sand and you’ll get stuck,

You mean like this. Had to shuffle back a few foot myself, and yeah, was then wary of ending up in the soft sand behind me. Still, with a bit of care and attention, it’s a great spot to spend a couple of days

The salt water would be a big problem there

Aye. It was a young woman. When she got it out, I suggested that she get it powerhosed ASAP, especially the entire underbody

Seen that, pretty well buried at the rear alright. The one on Inch this weekend, was down at the front. From what I could see, he braked a bit hard when stopping and went down an inch or so, then locked the wheel to reverse in near us, digging a little deeper, then a little wheel spin became a big wheel spin as he realized he was stuck, making it worse.
Still a fella in a land cruiser had him out in a jiffy. Simple done if you are not used to that type of situation

A cousin of mine got stuck there in a Jeep about 20 years ago when on a midnight romance.
Getting stuck is very common on Inch beach.
High tides and wet sand are tricky.

I’m not a spoil sport but it’s beyond my thinking why anyone would want to take their Motorhome down unto sand and run the risk of the tif[de coming in. As far as I’m aware one is not insured for having it on the sand? I know I would never take mine anywhere near the sand or have the sand anywhere near my Motorhome.

To each there own Jack, I suppose. We love the water, the beach, and see no issue being there. For sure a good power wash afterwards if it was windy is good idea. On the insurance issue, I don’t know, but there is nowhere on my policy that states I can’t bring it onto sand, that I can see. Also I really don’t plan on letting the water at it. The sand there is very well compacted, and if you use a degree of caution, there shouldn’t be any issue

Sand and grass are the 2 things I don't go near unless it's unavoidable and that includes on campsites, the only times I've had to be towed was on campsites

Have to agree Dave, got bogged down twice in France and each time there was grass growing on the soft sand, once was in a campsite

Aside from getting stuck I hate the thought of firing salt up under any vehicle so I just avoid driving anything onto beaches.

Travelling from Sneem to Dingle today I stopped off at Inch. There is a campsite across the road from the beach. Off season prices are €25 for outfit and 2 people, ehu is €4 extra. The location is 👍but the price is 👎

It was a terrible rough site the last time I was down that direction, I believe they have done work on it, is that correct?

I didn't go in and look around, the price list at the barrier was enough for me to decide to carry on to Dingle.
Maybe if we really wanted the beach experience we might have stayed a night.
