A secret swim spot, only known to locals in Wexford. It's somehwere you can go low or high tide. when it's high tide the water fills right under the arch and on low tide you can jump into the deep water between the rocks.

You'll also have one of the world's oldest lighthouses as a backdrop.

to get there: park in Slade harbour, head through a stone archway at the southeastern corner of the harbour, then cross a stile and head south along the Wexford Coastal Path. After roughly 300m, shortly before the next stile, you will notice the numbers 11 and 12 painted on the shoreside rocks. you'll find the spot at rock number 12.

take care though as there can be quite strong currents.
