Description
Trawbreaga Bay, Malin Head, Inishowen, County Donegal, Ireland
Five Fingers Strand takes its unusual name from the five long black sea-stacks that are located on the north end of this shore. These sand dunes are some of the highest in Europe. Formed around 5000 years ago, they now have their own protected & unique ecosystem. As seen here, rising sea levels & stormy weather are eroding them faster than ever into the sea. I hope nature manages to stabilise them again very soon, as they are so delicate & irreplaceable.
Each year many folk travel abroad to highly congested tourist traps in search of tropical waters & white sandy beaches. If we only realised what is already here in Ireland along our shores, then we may think twice before spending small fortunes to jet away, when we can easily visit beaches like this right on our own doorsteps
