    Looks like Ladies Beach to me, looking up towards Doon. That looks like Grand Cave entrance to right of screen. Angle of shot could be from Castle Green.

    Some news:
    Christy Moore will be coming to Tintean this summer, and Pat Short on May bank hol

    Are you sure, Rider? I'm thinking that next beach north of the Nun's Strand.

    Rider is correct. Nearest point in the video is the grand cave, then behind it is the point at Scoltnadrida, then you have Clancy’s Quarry and Daniels Rock in the far background. Looks like the camera was just down in front of the Castle Green.

    What was happening on the Castle green today? Coastguard digging or doing something?

    Just saw great thread ! Such a pity so many photographs have been removed - especially on ‘Aero’s thread posts - earlier in thread! They would have been so good to see - we all have great memories of Ballybunion- Aero is son of JJ OCarrolls - they had grocery shop & still have Marconi caravan park. Due to I’ll health, can’t go online much - today ok & photos are precious.
    Well Done Y’all!

    Ballybunion Coast Guard regularly train on top of the Castle Green. They are a cliff-rescue unit. I guess you saw them driving anchor stakes for their ropes. It might have looked like digging...

    Just fyi, Ireland has a "Coast Guard" (two words - like the American coast guard). Her Majesty in UK has a "Coastguard" ...

    I hope there will be a little bit of sunshine for me there next week.

    Or at least a break in the rain.

    Aw, hell, Rider, I forgot I even posted the above. If I had remembered I would have happily said yes and grabbed the opportunity to put a face together with your name.

    I'm already back home in the Bronx. I was in Ballybunion for only four days and relatives and family friends kept me so busy I didn't get a chance to do any of the things I always do when I'm over there: I didn't get a chance to go down to the caves, walk the beach, do the Cliff Walk, or go up to the top of Knockanore.

    I wanted to do the Bromore Cliffs walk as well, but ... no time for that either.

    But I left with orders to come back soon. We'll get together next trip.

    And with all my worries about the weather it was basically four dry days when I was over - save for the occasional quick shower.

    Multi agency search for windsurfer yesterday. And the man found safe and well in Clare! Must have been unable or unwilling to turn back in rough conditions, and kept going. Some feat! Great result last night ..... Delighted for the guy.

    Kitesurfer found in Clare after being reported missing off Kerry coast http://jrnl.ie/4334518
