The Mullet peninsula, Ireland 1/4

Carry on with the mini tour of the west coast, further north to The Mullet Peninsula, the most westerly point of Europe.

 

It is just north of the famous Achill Island, also with a lot of sandy beaches, but is far less visited, making it looks like a poor cousin.

 


Probably because of lower expectation, I actually enjoy this visit very much Vast amount of open spaces, few human and human touches, the feeling of being in the wilderness is memorable. 

 

First stop, Blacksod bay, big white sand bay, the harbour is busy with fishermen off loading crayfish, lobster and crab.
