Islands of Ireland: Vanishing on Inishbofin
A rolling line of white-capped waves sometimes forms what appears a natural defensive line around the glorious Co Donegal island of Inishbofin.
This innermost of a trio of islands is tantalisingly close to Magheraroarty beach in the northern part of the county and this Maginot Line of surf appears to forbid entry. Not to worry. Our ferry bisects the green and white swell like a sunbeam through a cloud. Welcome to the other Inishbofin, much smaller than its Co Galway namesake. Inishbofin, or the Island of the White Cow.
