We actually drive all the way to the bottom, the waves crashing in, the view, it’s an amazing spot! Car park at the top gives great views too.

Lovely walk by the seaside. You can walk from the centre of Youghal to the strand near Red Barn. The walk fro the town to the strand is probably 3 miles long on good quality paths. If you want to walk to Red Barn you will have to walk about a half mile on the beach. Well worth while doing it.

The new Doolin pier provides safe travel options for ferry trips to the Aran Islands and Cliffs of Moher. The old pier is now available for leisure activities.

The Doolin Pier is just a short walk, maybe 20 minutes, from the village of Doolin, where a visit to the Chocolate Shop is a must do. On the day we visited last February, there were no ferries going to the Arran Islands, however the elemental forces of nature there are exhilarating. We were given a tip to drive about a km out of Doolin to get a fantastic vantage point for the mythical Cliffs of Moher. We were able to find the turn off and our expectations were exceeded, breathtaking vistas towards the cliffs. To get the most out of the experience it is best to go off-season with fewer tour buses clogging up the roads. Recommended.

I took a drive with my son to here as a day off from technology. We found it peaceful with lovely views to see from each side of the pier. There's lots of butterflies around there. It was a lovely day to get out and about in nature and take a walk and it's always good to give kids a day off from technology to spend proper time with them while there young. The sun was shining for a while which made it lovely.

We visited the Titanic Experience Cobh this spring and learned that over a million people emigrated from this pier along with the last 123 people to board the Titanic. It’s a historic site yet it is falling into the sea. It is heartbreaking to see this pier not being looked after or restored. Most people don’t even know it exists. Like many Americans with ties to Ireland, I would love to be able to step onto this pier, walk in the footsteps of my ancestors and whisper a word of “thanks” for being so brave. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to say good bye to Ireland, knowing they would probably never return.
