Cliffs at Dunmore Head
Coumeenoole Beach is almost at the westernmost tip of Ireland. The Dingle peninsula stretches out into the Atlantic, it is not surprising that the parts which don’t stick out get pounded by the ocean. The result is the Coumeenoole Beach. It is a white sand beach which seems to be common in Ireland. If this were in the tropics, it would have been a nice place to swim but the waters around Ireland are cold, and I won’t want to be swimming in cold water. There is a path from the top to the beach itself but I wasn’t that keen on making my way down to the beach.
Lovely Seascape at Dunmore Head
Over to the western part of this area, is Dunmore Head itself. There is a walking path from here to the western end but I won’t be doing that. I don’t think I am ready for hillwalking, since I didn’t bring my walking shoes with me. In hindsight, I probably should have allotted more time for this so I won’t have to rush going from one place to another. I need to be heading back to the north after this tour which I why I don’t have time to do a hill walk. I do like the view of the beach here. It seems it is a great place for a walk.
