On our second day, of a week of Irish golf, we played The Island Golf Club.. This is a true links course, right on the Irish sea, and absolutely beautiful.. We were fortunate enough to be able to play 36 holes on this day.. we walked all 36.. This course is challenging, but fun to play.. Paul in the pro shop, Steve and Dave made us feel welcome and gave us some tips on how to play this course...We finished with a late lunch and found it to be outstanding.. This would be #1 on my list of courses to recommend when playing golf in the Dublin area.. Thanks to all who made this a great experience

We brought one of my daughters and her two youngest here today as a treat to visit the farm. To make it even better the weather was fantastic, we could not have picked a nicer day to visit. You need to book online for the farm visit during the current restrictions. Coffee show and ice cream van have slow queues too. The grounds and the farm are fabulous and extremely well maintained to enhance your experience here. This is a great place to spend a pleasant afternoon.

We stayed at Shoreline Hotel in July. The weather was mix of sun, wind and rain, but we enjoyed our walk on the beach. The beach is partly sandy and rocky. On one side is a good path to walk along the beach, so you don't need walk on the sand if you don't want to. Amazing views around the beach. Youtube Channel - Celtic Spirit of Ireland (link in our profile) has a video from the beach.
