Wild, Blue and Irish: Discover Ireland’s Raw Atlantic Coast


Where the Land Meets the Roar of the Atlantic

There’s a place in Ireland where the sea rules everything—where the beaches are wide and wind-battered, the cliffs drop sheer into rolling surf, and the skies never sit still. This is Ireland’s western edge. This post offers a glimpse into our premium newsletter itinerary that captures it all.

Day-by-Day Highlights

Day 1: Silver Strand, Mayo

Tucked into the Mullet Peninsula, this golden crescent beach offers solitude, wind-swept beauty, and uninterrupted Atlantic views. Perfect for a quiet walk or seabird spotting.

Day 2: Keem Bay, Achill Island

Turquoise waters, steep green hills, and a bay so serene it once harboured basking shark fleets. Now, it’s a wild swimmer’s paradise.

Day 3: Doughmore Beach & Kilkee Cliffs, Clare

Catch the surfers at Doughmore and trade crowds for drama at the lesser-known—but breathtaking—Kilkee Cliffs.

Day 4: Inch Beach, Kerry

Drive on the sand, watch the skies shift, and take in the scale of this immense strand backed by mountains.

Day 5: Coumeenole Beach & Slea Head Drive

The journey ends in Dingle, with cinematic views from Coumeenole and coastal roads that defy description.
