Beach at Crohy

It is such a pity that Ireland is so cold. The number of white sand beaches they have here would probably make some tropical countries green with envy. The constant pounding of the roughs seas here ensure that sand will be common here. In this remote part of Donegal, Crohy faces the brunt of the Atlantic Ocean, much like large parts of the county. As I was walking along the road entering the town, I passed by two prominent white sand beaches. These weren’t very long beaches compared to some I have been to, but the white sand they have here is something that definitely catches your attention. These beaches have been in the making for thousands of years and even in this modern age, the beach is still unspoilt.

I like how I seemed to be the only visitor that day so I practically have the beach all to myself. The road here presented a very good viewpoint to look at the beach. Perhaps it is no coincidence that there are a lot of viewpoints here. The ocean probably plays a huge part in the formation of these places. Perhaps parts of the shore would collapse to form these lookout points. The sea here can be deceiving since it looks very calm. I have learned from experience that the ocean is never calm. Perhaps further out at sea it would be quite wild.
