The Belmullet Peninsula on the west of Ireland may not be Tuscany, but under the sun it can be a little bit of paradise too. We had the chance to enjoy a sunny Sunday there recently.

The Peninsula lies on the north western tip of County Mayo, and is part of the Wild Atlantic Way.

Farming and fishing are important. And while there are quite a lot of houses many are holiday homes.

There are many long and sandy beaches to explore……………………….

Plenty of water to have some fun in.

Looking out to Inishkea islands
Stunning scenery all around.

You’ve made me think it’s been far too long since I’ve seen a wave in real life, or a blue sea. Nice to see them here though.

Stunning indeed MM – loved your opener. Makes one want to get on a plane immediately! The blues on your post this week are especially lovely.

Beautiful scenery and a lovely seaside day it looked to be. I have a jigsaw puzzle of a dog surfside with background that looks very much like your last photo. It was a surprise to recognize it!
