Beach
Ballinesker Beach and Curracloe Strand, Ballinesker, were used for the filming of the D-Day sequence in Saving Private Ryan, due to similarity to Omaha Beach in Normandy.[3][4] Filming began 27 June 1997, and lasted for two months.[5][6] The village of Curracloe lacked three-phase electricity but when the film company decided to film there, it was connected.[7] Curracloe Strand was also used for the Irish beach scene in the movie Brooklyn.[8]
