Hey everyone,
I’m living here in Limerick for the summer (or whats left of it) and I just want to try a find out if anyone knows of good areas around Limerick for seascapes, about an hour and a half drive away or therabouts?
I know your post is up a while now but here goes anyways.
Consider Co. Kerry. As you drive South from Limerick and before you enter Castleisland you will come down the mountain. t the top (on the main road) there is a veiwing area and parking place. From here you will have a view of Castlemaine Harbour.
Then there’s always North Kerry, Ballybunnion, Banna, Don’t forget Fenit just outside of Tralee.
Have you considered Co. Clare? Cliffs of Moher being the most obvious but don’t ignore Doolin either.
Head over towards West Clare and start at Loop Head light house and drive up the coast.. Lots of great spots and places to stay/eat e.g. Doolin.. Well worth a day or two.
I’d second the recommendation of Doolin. Just after the village there is a place you can pull in and walk down to the sea. Further on along the same road you will come to Doolin Pier which has a lot of potential. You can walk from there north along the sea edge for quite a bit.
Of course you also have the Cliffs of Moher and Lahinch close by as well as plenty other places along the Clare coast.
