Catching the power of the waves

A RECENT visit to the magnificent Dingle Peninsula, on a day when there was a heavy swell in the Atlantic, illustrated yet again the sheer power of the waves that crashed into the jagged coastline.

So dramatic was the spectacle at Inch that we felt compelled, along with a number of tourists who happened to be there, to stop and view the scene from a layby, close to where the waves had undermined the road some years ago.

A few miles across the bay, at Rossbeigh, the power of the sea could again be seen in the form of a new island created by the storm-tossed seas.
