Truly a dream. The view of the Atlantic, the rough waves, the warm breeze.

Murreagh Beach Path

Highlight • Trail

Murreagh Beach lies deep in Smerwick Harbour, a wide, sheltered bay between Ballydavid and Ballyferriter. The beach itself is quiet, low-lying and fine-grained, with a gentle transition from grassy dunes to sand. Due to its sheltered location, the water here is remarkably calm and glassy, especially compared to the rugged west coast around Dunquin and Slea Head.

Gallarus Oratory

Highlight • Religious Site

The Gallarus Oratory is an excellent example of early Christian architecture. Its shape is that of an overturned boat's hull, the corners clearly defined by mortar for almost 1200 years! Next to the station, a visitor centre shows a 15-minute film on the building techniques of this type of oratory and on the various sites around it.
