Wild, Blue and Irish
A 5-Day Itinerary of Beaches, cliffs and coastal drama along Ireland’s Atlantic edge
The drama of the Atlantic—from Mayo’s Silver Strand to Kerry’s Inch Beach, where sky, sand, and sea collide. There’s a rawness to Ireland’s western edge. The wind sculpts the dunes, the sea stacks stand like giants, and the light constantly shifts over the surf. This is not your typical beach holiday—it’s wilder, moodier, and unforgettable. Here, surfers paddle out into rolling Atlantic waves, walkers trace sea cliffs, and photographers chase golden hour across vast, untamed shores.
Whether you want to stroll an empty strand, ride the waves, or just watch seabirds wheel over the headlands, Ireland’s Atlantic coast offers some of the most stirring seaside experiences in Europe.
