Sandymouth Beach
10 Violet O'Callaghan

The Poolbeg towers appear larger when viewed from a distance, but from this vantage point, they seem quite small. The beach is absolutely stunning and conveniently located near the road. I can't resist wanting to pet every dog I see there. During the evening, a unique blend of grey and blue hues illuminates the surroundings, creating a captivating sight that I haven't encountered in any other country.
