Barley Cove is the name of a beach in West Cork, Ireland.
It is said to be one of the better beaches in West Cork, if not Ireland. It is situated close to Mizen Head, with Crookhaven or Goleen being the nearest villages. The area surrounding Barley Cove is one of natural beauty and is very popular during the summer months. The beach itself has been designated as a Special Conservation area by the European Union, due to the variety of wildlife and interesting habitats present in the sand dunes.
