Coumeenoole Beach20 min
Coumeenoole Strand is a captivating location for photography or just kicking your shoes off and paddling along the water's edge. With fine views of the rugged coastline available from the beach at low tide or the path way down to the sands, this is many people's favourite location during the tour.

The iconic twisting path down to Dunquin Pier is the historical departure point for the settlers on the Great Blasket Island. These days it is used for the tripper boats visiting the island.
Superb vistas are to be captured along the paths at the top of the cliff with the option of walking down the steep path to capture photos at lower vantage points.

Depending on the state of the tide we can access this scenic beach, as well as capturing wonderful ocean landscapes from the viewing platform above the beach. This area also contains a number of secluded rocky beaches and rugged coves that we access with a short drive.

Towards the end of this tour, George will choose one of the stunning locations we've already visited to watch the sun go down, hopefully producing a memorable sunset and colourful dusk before we drive back to Dingle and the end of the tour.
