Rossnowlagh has many visitors during the summer months and most of the beach is accessible by car. Drivers are cautioned however to be aware of soft sand areas where cars can get stuck and to be aware of incoming tides which can move in rapidly and cover most/all of the beach. There may be a Beach Warden on duty and information about full and low tides may be displayed. Drivers on the beach are required to drive very slowly at 15 km/h (10mph) and to be on the lookout for children and other users of the beach.
