Parking in the residential area of Aston Bay. Some spaces along streets leading to the beach. Easy access from the N2. Quiet residential area. No commercial facilities directly on the beach. J-Bay a few minutes by car.

Wind specificities

Southeast wind blows side-onshore, similar to other spots in the J-Bay area. Strength of 15-25 knots in summer (October-March). SE thermal is reliable in the afternoon. WSW works as onshore. Position slightly further south in the bay may offer slightly different wind from J-Bay's main spots.
