Tullan Strand Beach is one of, if not the, best beach surfing break in Ireland. There are many breaks on this beach, from the most agressive "First Peak" to the numerous other peaks across the beach. This place is particularly special to BarnesHunters as it is very close to our home.
The "Fairy Bridges" and the "Wishing Chair" are two other cool features beside this cache.
The Fairy Bridges (waypoint given) are sea stacks and Bundoran’s original tourist attraction back in the 1800s. However, it is believed that as far back as the 1700s locals thought these to be haunted by fairies with the result of the name “The Fairy Bridges”.
The Wishing Chair (waypoint given) is a seat-shape rock formation along the cliffs. Legend says it is advised to approach the chair with caution lest the powers of the chair be disrupted. Wishers are advised to sit down slowly holding on to both “arms” of the chair and then pause for at least 15 seconds to take in the stunning scenery that surrounds them – Donegal Bay to their left, Tullan Strand straight ahead and the Dartry Mountains to the right. It is useful to contemplate the figures, possible heroes and heroines who may have sat in the chair in the years and the centuries ahead of them, before making their wish which must be done in silence and kept private to the wisher in order to increase the chances of it coming true. Finally it is believed that tapping the seat twice as you get up will give your final commitment that your wish is a genuine one.
I would like to mention and thank murphy-r who originally had a cache at this location, but however does not play the game anymore.
