On my way back from Kilmac I eschewed the main road, headed for Bunmahon and took the Copper Coast Road to Tramore. Whether it was the low sun or the winter light, I have never seen the coastline look so stunning, the sea stacks peering out of the still Atlantic. When I got to the turn in Boatstrand it all unfolded ahead of me and a tear came to my eye at the raw beauty of it all.
