Geocache Description:

 Ireland's largest raised shingle storm beach


 This cache sits on a spectacular view point overlooking Glenlough Bay. When you get here simply take a moment to savour where you are. 

Sitting 3KM north east from the An Port road end is the huge Glenlough Bay. This bay stretches for 2KM from Tormore Island at it's southern end to the End's of the Earth Stack at it's northern end.  It contains one of the largest raised shingle storm beaches in Ireland and on a day of huge north west motion the roar of millions of tonnes of shingle being moved up and down the beach by the incoming seas can be deafening even from the clifftops 200m above the beach.

The storm beach extends for over a KM and terminates at it's southern end in a wide Geo seperating Glenlough Bay from the Cobbler's Tower land mass. In this wide geo a pair of huge seals live, they have always been there everytime I have visited. They are extremely curious and will come to within a few feet of you before disappearing under the waves.

 The clifftop walk to this cache requires suitable hiking/trekking shoes and attire.

 The cache is a medium container with a pad, pencil and sharpner.
