Water Safety & Swimming

Please note that despite its close proximity, Knockadoon pier and slipway are outside the boundary of Camp (see Basics above).

  • Extreme care should be taken when going out on the pier as it can be very slippery with dangerous falls on both sides.
  • Swimming can only take place at appointed times and in the presence of a qualified lifeguard.
