We headed over to Kerry to drop two piglets of ours off to the Maharees in between Brandon Bay and Tralee Bay.
Our piglets over look Bantry Bay and now they have gone to the seaside in County Kerry.
I have featured the Maharees on here before it's a sand dune peninsula scattered with houses and winding boreens, pubs and caravan parks.
I have camped there a few years ago when we walked a lot of the Dingle Way. One stretch of the beach from Cloghane to Camp was 12 miles long sand.
After settling in the piglets in their straw bed we set off back and stopped at a little beach on the Maharees.
There are so many virtually empty beaches in Ireland. Far away from the madding crowd.
Ah, I hope the little piglets enjoy their new home .
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful, wide and empty, beautiful beaches you have there.
Looks a perfect place to relax, here we have pebbles beaches.
ReplyDeleteThey seemed quite happy and content JayCee. I can see why films like Far And Away and Ryan's Daughter happened to be filmed around. All for free and you can walk for miles or even kilometres.😀
ReplyDeleteLovely on a great year like this one Marlene. Not so nice when it's gale season. Ireland is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe have been to Southern Ireland a couple of times but never to the coast.
DeleteThe population is only 5.38 million Marlene. The Wild Atlantic Way is spectacular with it's changing sea and landscape. Hiring a camper van and shopping in the discount supermarkets is a great way of exploring the Emerald Isle. I would recommend a tent but Missus Northsider will not entertain it any more. Hotels are too expensive. Air bnb is another good option.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to learn that nasturtiums grow so close to the sea. Lovely. Bronte must have loved running along the beach
ReplyDeleteI was surprised Linda that the salt spray didn't bother them.
DeleteThat looks like a beautiful bay - wild and untouristed. I'd be coveting the seaweed for my garden too. Despite being by the sea I've yet to find a seaweed strewn beach.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of untouristed beaches here in Ireland TM. I can't praise seaweed enough. It's weed free and contains fifty trace elements. I must collect a few pig food bags of it for my veg plot.
