Between the green hills of Ireland, where the mighty Shannon River flows into the Atlantic, lies Killimer Port, an ideal place to pause and enjoy the moment. While I was waiting for the next ferry, I took a short walk along the coast. The gentle sound of the waves, the scent of the sea air and the view over the marshland with its small lagoon - a perfect place to let your thoughts wander.
An impressive panorama opens up to the west. And as I stood there, I felt the vastness of the place and the calm of the moment fill me. On an information board at the rest area I learned more about the historic Killimer Port and its importance along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Summer is particularly lively here. With two ferries in use, you hardly miss a chance to reach Tarbert opposite. It is a small spectacle to watch the ship powerfully crossing the wide water. After just 20 minutes you reach Tarbert and are greeted by the lighthouse - an image that you won't quickly forget.
