Ballybunion
I was in Ballybunion for the first time in a while on Sunday February 14 2016. It was a beautiful crisp dry day and this lovely seaside place was a buzz of activity.
I saw two new seats dedicated to the memories of local people. Good idea!
There were dogs on the beach but all well mannered and in the control of their owners.
This surfer was just returning to base from his stint in the waves.
The rescue helicopter was on a practice run.
Toilets are getting a face lift.
The castle has weathered winter 2016 with no obvious damage.
Boathouse intact.
