This parking area begins just after the public toilets and extends along the beach front. No more the 2 persons per car to point B WE WILL BE LEAVING POINT B AT 10AM TO GET TO POINT A	8 Miles approx. Mixture of beach, road and grassy track. The walk on the beach at Benone involves crossing over 3 small streams. These come from Downhill cliffs and near the sea they dissipate and should be easily crossed. However, if there has been heavy rain or there is a high tide this might be difficult. I suggest we all bring a small towel and be prepared for a paddle!
