Errisberg sits overlooking the North Atlantic with stunning, panoramic views out to sea of the Roundstone bog and Dog's Bay. Inland, well, on a good day, you can catch sight of the Twelve Bens. At only 300 metres high, Errisberg is not that high, but it’s big on attitude, and the views are simply awesome.

Sheep Pastures in Connemara

Highlight • Natural

The path along the road to the entrance at the gate is not so nice. With luck you can find a spot on the side. We started from Dogs Bay Beach, so it was a bit tough to get to the nice part of the path

View of Gurteen Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

Prepare for a 'Caribbean' moment in Ireland. From this point, you look down on the narrow spit of land that separates the two famous white sandy beaches. The water of Gurteen Bay turns a bright turquoise against the snow-white sand (which actually consists of microscopic shells) in sunlight. In the background, you can see the rugged contours of the Twelve Bens. An absolute must-stop for a photo before you start the short descent to the beaches.

Dog's Bay Beach

Highlight • Beach

The beautiful Dog's Bay has a spectacular horseshoe shape with a white sandy beach that is more than a kilometer long. The sand does not consist of conventional limestone, but of shell fragments that give it a pure white color. The beach is naturally protected by the headland and is considered safe for swimming and is also ideal for other water sports such as windsurfing and kite surfing.
