Coumeenoole Bay (Com Dhineol) – northern beach
Coumeenoole Bay (Com Dhineol) – northern beach
This beach, just south of Dunmore Head (An Dún Mór), is unusual in that it has road access, visible at V3198 : Cliffs at Coumeenoole Bay, which allows small boats to be launched. The beach also directly faces the westerly gales across Blasket Sound and so is popular with surfers despite strong off-shore currents running through the Sound. Beyond the houses the ground rises to Mount Eagle (1700 feet), and off to the right is Slea Head. Close-up of the beach at V3197 : Coumeenoole Bay – “Ryan’s Daughter” beach
It was on this (northern) beach of the Bay that most of the shipwreck scenes in the David Lean film “Ryan’s Daughter” (1970) were shot LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link )
