Coumeenoole Beach at the Dingle Peninsula
The tour of Dingle Peninsula is certainly a good one. I like how it is pocket sized enough to complete in one morning. There is a fix route to follow so there is no getting lost here. Just follow the signs. As it turns out, the Dingle Peninsula also happens to be Ireland’s westernmost point, at least from the Irish mainland point of view. Now the most westerly point of the Dingle Peninsula is the Dunmore Head. The Slea Head drive passes right by Dunmore Head. Conveniently, there is a parking area here. However it seems that this place is quite popular since I had a little difficulty finding a place to park.
A View of Coumeenoole Beach
There is a very sharp left from the Slea Head drive to the car park. The car park was quite full and I ended having to park on the grass. It seems this is one of the more popular places since I see people walking toward Dunmore Head. I don’t have time to go hillwalking here. However, it seems that there is a nice little beach here called Coumeenoole Beach. The beach is accessible via stairs but I think I like seeing it from where I am.
