It was such a lovely morning, we decided to head for the nearest coast, the Irish Sea at Murlough Bay, County Down.
We followed the boardwalk through the dunes.
That’s Slieve Donard in the middle, Northern Ireland’s highest mountain at 850m (2790ft). We couldn’t believe how good the views were today.
Continuing on the boardwalk the sea eventually came into view.
Then out onto the beach. Wow!
The pictures say it all: wonderful.
We ended up in Newcastle for our picnic lunch, then a stroll along the front with an ice cream. What more can I say?
The last picture is looking north from Newcastle, back to our starting point. What a wonderful day!
A Different View 
WONDERFUL photos. I looooooooooooove beaches and boardwalks.
It was a near perfect day! And we love beaches too!
Preciosas fotografías de un lugar magnífico para pasear…
Thank you Barbara. I must repeat that walk soon.
Outstanding! My favorite is the path through the dune grass – and out to sea!
It is lovely Josie! I’d love to visit today, it’s only an hour’s drive, but it is just such a grey day here and holiday fortnight so there will be too many people!
