About Brandon Bay Sauna
The operator places the sauna in the Maharees, a special area of conservation, on what it calls one of the longest sandy beaches in Ireland. It's meant as a place where surfers, swimmers, walkers and people out for a coffee gather, and there's room beside the sauna to leave your things.
