This is Clare Island as many visitors first feel it from the Louisburgh shore — not a postcard in hard sunlight, but a Wild Atlantic Way mood of fog, tide and history. A strong print for anyone who has stood on Carrowniskey or taken the Roonagh ferry.
About Clare Island,
Clare Island sits at the mouth of Clew Bay, off Louisburgh in County Mayo. Home of Grace O’Malley (Gráinne Mhaol), it remains one of the most distinctive landmarks on this stretch of the Wild Atlantic Way. This photograph was taken from the rocky shoreline near Carrowniskey Beach.
