Texto sobre a Irlanda:

"At dramatic Fair Head, the coast road turns west and we reach Ballycastle, which – with its winding streets, tumultuous history, steep cliffs, and sweeps of beach – is for me one of Ireland’s finest seaside towns."

vastas enseadas; numerosas enseadas


Explanation:
Comparando algumas (das várias) definições:


sweep = a large area of land often forming a wide curve
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sweep

Enseada = curvatura da costa, reentrância que forma pequeno porto abrigado; recôncavo


Minha sugestão seria bem parecida com a sua mesmo, Stephania: eu usaria vastas enseadas, numerosas enseadas
