Pollurin Tidal Lagoon. Pollurin is an impressive natural phenomenon. At high tide, the lagoon is navigable by small boats, while at low tide it becomes a large sandy beach extending far out to sea. This tidal change is a special feature of the area.

The lagoon was once a natural harbor. Today, it is silted up. It was created by a tsunami in the North Atlantic, which dumped the sand. A stream also flows into the lagoon. At low tide, you can walk further to the coast.
