A Weekend Adventure with Bluey This weekend was a special one for our family as we welcomed a new member, Bluey, into our hearts and home. With the sun smiling down on us, we seized the opportunity to explore the enchanting Copper Coast, a hidden gem on Ireland's southern shore - Ballydwan Beach. Bluey, our newest companion, was more than eager to join the adventure, and the two-hour journey did little to dampen his spirits, thanks to the delightful company he had. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the breathtaking vistas of the coast, a sight so stunning it stole our breaths away. For Bluey, it was a day of firsts, as he gazed upon the vast expanse of the ocean, its waves whispering tales of the deep. The beach held secrets of its own, revealed to us through an informative sign that spoke of the land's ancient past. We learned that the green stones - behind our backs on the photo, were relics from a time when Ireland lay at the South Pole, enduring the fiery wrath of volcanoes and its age is 460 million years old. The red rocks, a testament to an era when Ireland basked in the heat of a sandy desert near the equator, were 360 million years old. And the yellow clay, from which we crafted delightful pies for Bluey, was a mere 12,000 years old, a youthful creation from the aftermath of the Ice Age. For Bluey, this was more than just a beach; it was a 500-meter stretch of history, a timeline of Earth's evolution laid bare under the sun. His joy was palpable, and it was a pleasure to witness his wonder as he learned about the planet's dynamic history. Our day at the Copper Coast was a reminder of the beauty and history that surrounds us, often waiting just a short drive away. It was a day of discovery, not just for Bluey, but for all of us, as we connected with nature and each other. These are the moments that enrich our lives, bringing us closer to the world and to the ones we share it with. What a pleasure it is to have such treasures within reach, and what a joy to explore them with new eyes and a wagging tail.
Very narrow road leading down to the cove. Good parking at the end of this road. Beautiful views from near sea stack at entrance. Warnings for both rip tides and falling rocks from the cliffs.
What a cracking little bay. Awesome for photography, not much room for parking but if you get lucky you'll appreciate this beach.
I love it here for photography reasons. Sunrise and Milkyway shoots. Nice place to bring the dog for a walk.
What a beautiful place
