Drishane Island from Tragumna's beach

The small beach at Tragumna overlooks a tiny island, Drishane Island, which is about 100 metres offshore. The beach was awarded a Blue Flag for the years 2019 and 2020.[2]

A small lake (Lough Abisdeally) is nearby and is visited by birdwatchers. 3 km away is Lough Hyne which is a designated Marine Nature Reserve.
