Outing to Portrane
July 7 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm
Portrane is a small seaside village located three kilometres East of Donabate in Fingal, County Dublin, Ireland. Portrane has an approx. 2 km long sandy beach backed by sand dunes in places on the North side. To the South there are a few small beaches and a cliff walk to Donabate Beach.
There is ample parking and beside the car park is a Martello tower and steps to the first beach (the “Hidden Beach” – though it’s in plain view) – some nice shots possible here.
Further along the Cliff Walk is Evan’s Tower and, on the cliff-side are views across to Lambay Island which lies just off the Coast. Also, some unusual rock formations along the cliffs. So, lots of variety and opportunities for good shots. Howth Head is also visible to the south.
Moonrise is at 19.45
Sunset is at 21.53
High Tide is at 22.23 (so the tide will be half way in at 19.00)
