The spectacular coastline of County Waterford has a superb exemplar in the cliffs around Ballydowane Beach, just west of Bunmahon. Lovely beaches with golden sands, enticing caves, sea arches, and tunnels (such as at St John’s Island) add to the appeal. 

The area is teeming with life avian and life aquatic illustrated by seals and otters which popped up to say hello on a recent kayaking trip.
