This is such a beautiful, magical and peaceful place to visit. One of the easiest places to trek to and an amazing history attached to it. Well worth a visit any day.

Beautiful, fairly flat walk out to the ruins. Historical marker gives info on the Monastic ruins. Bench overlooking a lovely view. A beach to explore. Overall, a very nice walk. On a Sunday, park in the large lot by the surf house, walk down to the boardwalk, then turn right and follow the path along to the end of the beach where you'll see a turnstile to a path out to the ruins and different beach. On the way back, after coming back through the turnstile gate (to keep animals out) instead of going back up the beach turn left along the fence and follow the path towards the mountain/airport. It's really pretty, especially when it's all in bloom. This way back will drop you at the airport/Strandhill People's Market (only open Sun). Grab a bite/coffee, do a bit of shopping, then continue down airport road directly to the car park. ? You'll pass another small ruin - a passage tomb - on your left on that last walk down the road.

Super interesting. This church was said to have been visited by St Patrick himself. Has a great view of the sea and distant mountains. It is a nice place to reflect.

A nice walk along the dunes and sands and you find this old chapel. The airport is in the way but you simply walk around it. As the images show, the view across the sandspits and bay are beautiful
