This beach is about a 15 minute walk away for me (or about 5 minutes by car). Further down the bay is a riding school. On Wednesday, I was taking a morning walk at low tide. Three horses with their riders were slowly wading through the low water across the bay until they reached Culleenamore. Moving slowly out of the water, the riders held their horses back getting established on the beach, then all of a sudden they turned direction towards the point and took off racing along the strand.On Sunday, after the poetry workshop weekend I came out here to unwind. I stopped to talk to an old man with a garden rake. He turning over the sand with his rake searching for cockles. We chatted for almost a half hour about the cockles he was finding, the mussel hunting further along the bay, and in general the state of the world. His bucket was half filled with cockles for his dinner later that evening.

beautiful beach but how cold is the water? We're just closing down the famous echo bay yacht club and it's cold working on the boats, etc. although the water is still almost bearable to swim in!
