Prison Cove: 51.5507395, -9.0976209 Prison Cove or Reenogrena bay near Glandore in Co. Cork has been used by naturists in West Cork for a number of years. This is a very Stoney beach but also very secluded place to swim and relax. One would need to use googlemaps as the roads are narrow and the […]
