Benone Strand is 7 Miles Long, and in my lifetime I have only seen it Break cleanly once. It suffers due to the protected position from the swell, Your best starting point for waves is at Downhill on the east end of Benone and all other breaks eastwards.
There is access to the beach at Benone, it is this section that has European Blue Flag status. As well as surfing, the beach hosted a major Kite Buggy event and some kite surfing last year. There are also toilet facilities at Benone.
