  • The Great Arch, Between Portsalon and Lighthouse (hard), none. free. there is a signpost for the it near the "Tea Stop" ask in there. Dont be tempted to stop at the "Tea Stop". Its a rip-off joint. We paid 20 Euro for two teas, two scones and a few fingers of cheese. :P  edit

[edit] Itineraries

  • The Atlantic Drive is signposted and takes you around the peninsula. However, it is easy to get lost as the region is full of interlacing crossroads and taking a wrong turn at an unsignposted intersection is almost inevitable. The best thing to do is enjoy the experience and find your own way around.

[edit] Stay safe

The main danger when travelling in this region is the roads, or lack of them! Travelling on the coastal roads can be hair-raising for those inexperienced with Irish driving. Roads are narrow and twisting, many hug the cliff-face and the driver will not have the time or inclination to admire the surrounding scenery!
