Hiking
Giant "hole" near the parking lot to the Galley Head Lighthouse. Very impressive, but caution is advised, in high tide and stormy weather, the spray beats about 30m up.

Hiking
The Blow Hole is a natural rock crevice located just below Galley Head Lighthouse. When the sea pushes against the rocks hard enough, air pressure is created that sprays the water through the hole in the ceiling of the fissure, creating an impressive gush of water.
There are several hiking trails in the area that lead to the Blow Hole, most of which are easy to moderate. The hiking trails lead through meadows, over cliffs and along the coast, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding countryside.
