Sailing in towards the pier at Tahilla Cove. (please ignore the lousy gybe)

As you can see - there is tons of space - Exit to the main bay is to the right off the photo.

Launching is from rocks at Tahilla Pier. Westerlies to southerlies are best in this well exposed location.


Tahilla combines the best of safe inshore windsurfing as well as the option of easily leaving the large safe enclosure of the cove to cross the entire two mile width of Kenmare bay at this point. The seas outside of the cove can offer exciting jumping going out to the Cork side (southward) and blistering fast returns to the Kerry side. If you want to reach flat out for two miles at a stretch then this is the spot for you. Tahilla also has the added benefit of plenty of wind and room within the protection of the cove with flattish water for those in the party who may feel less confident in open water.

I have had some great days here.
Drive down to the left of Tahilla Church 300m to pier. Rigging is on grass at the water's edge.
