Geocache Description:

Heading out to Omey Island to enjoy some desolate, West of Ireland, Wild Atlantic Way scenery? Well, don't miss this gem hidden on a little island on your way to the big island. Like Omey, this cache is only accessible during low tide.


The Location: A wild and windswept island off the Atlantic coast of Ireland, Omey is a postcard perfect trip back to simpler times of thatch cottages and rural scenes.  Part of the charm of the Island is that twice a day it becomes reconnected with the mainland via a large, natural, sand causeway. Most dash across to the island, but why not stop to explore the incredible phenomenon of the causeway itself en route?  This cache will help show you some of its finer details.  

Getting to GZ: At low tide, head out across the causeway to Omey Island.  But rather than follow the signs to the island, stop halfway and take a stroll over to the little grassy hillock with a standing stone.  Be sure you get your tides right though, because getting it wrong will see you stuck on the island (with no conveniences) for several hours while the tide turns.  Waterproof boots advisable but not required.
