Here are some of the beautiful things you could see or do (for free) by the sea on a sunny April weekend in the west of Ireland…

3 - Discover starfish at low tide
4 - Collect Red Jasper
5 - Spot razor clams sq**rting water as the tide drops (watch closely) to see the water sq**rt up
6 - Find more starfish
7 - Practice patience while Salt fishing for razor clams
8 - Success! Collect razor clams using salt as the tide drops
9 - Spot Barnacle Geese - imagine these guys have travelled from Greenland to Ireland for the winter and should be heading back to Greenland soon
10 - Forage for seaweeds like Sugar Kelp
11 - Watch a lone wild hare in a field lit by the slanting sun
12 - Have a staring match with a cow at the beach
13 - Experience the aftermath of winter storms and high tides - every time we visit this section of the beach it completely has changed shape
14. Watch a west of Ireland sunset over rolling waves
15. Happen upon a parade of vintage Minis
16. Not photographed- watch seals playing in the estuary, spot your first swallows of the summer, happen a wild pheasant in a ditch, go sea trout angling, have a picnic on the beach, pick bog cotton

We don’t work for the west of Ireland tourism board but maybe we should. Send this to someone you think might enjoy a weekend in the west of Ireland some day
