Lifebuoy on Duty
It’s reassuring to see lifebuoys at the beach, especially when the sea is rough. Unfortunately, not every person in distress in the water can be saved, as has happened at this beach in Youghal in the past.
Steel Wool Spinning at Night
Spinning flaming steel wool around creates fiery trails in the air. Thanks Henry, for this photo I took in 2015!
Inchydoney Serenity
Last Sunday, the first Sunday in February, was a glorious one. The sun shone out of an almost cloudless sky. It was cold, but the sun brought the crowds, and there were cars parked all along the coast road, from the hotel to the nearby car park at the other end of the beach.
Beach Art Celebrates St. Brigid’s Day
The weather forecast for today was great, so we visited Inchydoney Beach this afternoon. While it looks like the beach isn’t busy, cars were parked all the way from the hotel down to the public car park at the other end of the beach. It would be easy to think it was the middle of…
Twilight Sentinels on the Beach
Some of the thatched beach umbrellas on Playa de Ajabo in Tenerife, just after the sun has set. There’s a restaurant behind where I was taking the photo, with bright neon lights shining on the beach, that was annoying to remove.

A lone rock on Long Strand, Co Cork, as waves crash around it. The water is reduced to a misty blur in this long exposure shot. If you look carefully, you’ll see the Galley Head Lighthouse in the background.
Keem Beach in the Sun
The lovely Keem Beach on Achill Island, photographed in 2019. It’s a beautiful part of Ireland that I would love to visit again some day.
The Aquatic Paparazzi
A photographer with his phone captured the waves on Cuminole Strand a few years ago. It was a beautiful August afternoon, a far cry from the wintery weather outside right now!
Life Saving Devices at the Beach
A life buoy at the beach in Youghal. It was a fairly breezy day, just after the triathlon.
The Pacific Park in the Sea
Santa Monica Pier stretches out into the sea, but halfway out is a funfair including a roller coaster and ferris wheel, of all things. On a sunny day it’s a sight to behold. The place is thronged with people too!
Cows at the sea
Cows on the rocks near the sea on Sheep’s Head. Looks like one of them is enjoying the view of the water. Nice day for fishing ain’t it!
