Malin Head: Five Finger Strand

Okay, these pictures are ALL credited to Amy Pinski and her magnificent eye for a good photo opp! 

Below is just a cute, fluffy pony.

And here, a cute, fluffy long-horn...

And these are the sheep in the soccer field behind our B&B.  They looked like they were carrying blankets!  They were just so fluffy!


This was an old house ruin.


These below are the pictures of Five Finger Strand.  This  beach is on the Inishowen Peninsula.  We drove to it on accident!  We thought we were heading back the way we had come, and then realized we were not, and then saw the sign for the beach so we headed out to see it.  Sadly, I did not take any pictures with Steve's camera because it was so windy that the sand was blowing into my teeth, and I thought it could be bad for Steve's camera, so I opted to pilfer Amy's pictures instead!


Above is the road, which was blacktopped and then turned to sand as we got closer.


Apparently Five Finger Strand has the largest dunes of it's kind in Europe.  Also, when the tide is low, you can see the wreck of the "Twilight" which sailed from Newfoundland in 1889 and sank here on it's way to Derry.
