Walking, swimming, snorkelling, fishing, bring a boat or canoe? Youâll amaze yourself at how much entertainment you can squeeze out of one little sandy island.Before long youâll find yourself collecting yellow shells or white quartz stones. When was the last time you caught a crab? Explore the shore and rock pools at low tide. Boulder hopping, howâs your balance?
Watch the sun set or the tide close or the moon rise. Simple things that we often overlook. Once a year the strand plays host to the Omey Races, an amazing spectacle. Horses, jockeys, bookies, punters and spectators come from far and wide to the temporary racetrack in the sand.
Thereâs not much in the way of broadband, telephone reception or TV signal so prepare yourself for DIY entertainment. Iâm currently reading Tim Robinsonâs new book, Connemara, the last pool of darkness which is very enlightening and the fruit of over 20 years work.
