Horse, Dog and a Quiet Hour on Silver Strand

Photos
Silver Strand beach on Sherkin Island, West Cork: a bare-chested man rides a brown horse through shallow turquoise water near the shore, a black-and-white collie stands on the wet sand watching, and a boy in a green jumper and a woman with a ball stand barefoot at the water's edge, with seaweed-strewn rocks, low headlands and distant blue hills across the bay behind them.

We visited Sherkin Island more than ten years ago and walked the narrow road to the other side of the island, to Cow Strand and then on to Silver Strand. I’ve been back a few times since but I think this is the only time I saw a horse on the beach.

It was a lovely day. Fabulous beaches too.
