hmm… Terrible use of english there. Should be either “The Ladies’ Beach”, or “The Lady’s Beach”. The Irish could have been a bit more poetic as well – maybe “Tra na Mna” Reply ↓
It could be ambiguous alright, but I don’t think it’s supposed to be a singular possessive. The Irish version is fine as the phrase “Nollag Na mBan” shows. (That’s “Little Christmas” to everyone else!) So, many ladies claim ownership of the beach! Reply ↓
To me, “The Ladies Beach” sounds like the “The Ladies Restroom” or toilet. Notice the absence of any apostrophes. Reply ↓
