Went there with a group of friends by bus from Cork. It was a beautiful day on a path through nature along the cliffs. There are some spots where you can go into the water so it is a good idea to bring swimming stuff on a good weather day. Yet it is important to keep in mind to bring enough water to the walk!

Not sure why it is so popular. Don't get me wrong I enjoy coastal walks. However, this one was just endless vegetation on each side of the path, affording only a rare view of anything. Although the view of the lighthouse island o the return did inspire. And far too many people.
