Surf’s up for Fáilte Ireland as its Wild Atlantic Way rides the crest of a wave

The Wild Atlantic Way is making waves in more ways than one.

Fáilte Ireland’s signature project to rejuvenate tourism, Ireland’s first long-distance touring route, which stretches along the Atlantic coast from Donegal to West Cork, is home to many beaches as wild as the Way itself.

Surfers are the latest cohort of tourists to have discovered it. According to specialist holiday website Surfholidays.com, some of the best waves on the planet crash on beaches scattered along the Wild Atlantic Way.
