Beautiful location, open to the public but the area is spectacular.
Bray Head is a way to get out of the car and walk up this very scenic trail. At the top there is an old viewing tower overlooking the Skelligs and Puffin island. If you look north you can see the tower on Dunmore point on the Dingle peninsula.
Amazing Cliffs 400 feet higher than the Cliffs of Moher. The view of the Atlantic is as wild as the Wild Atlantic Way can be. Looking out over the Ocean, The Skellig Islands and Puffin Island.
Saint Finian’s Bay overlooks the Skellig Islands and Atlantic Waves. Popular with Surfers, its not safe to swim here due to rip currents. If you roar “up Kerry” here eight times at the Skelligs you will hear the echo come back to you.
