 I managed to get to Down Patrick Head on one of the best days of the year so far. This is a local spot for me only 18 miles from home and a world class piece of coastline. A fantastic headland steeped in history and folklore with an impressive 60 meter sea stack Dun Briste broken away from the massive cliffs. The headland is dissected by a long cave that is only accessible a few days a year and on low tide. Half way through the cave is a huge blow hole called Poll Na Seantoine. This is an exposed piece of coastline and challenging on the finest days. Definitely not for the inexperienced. Check out the video.

Wowwww I'm in awe! how possible is this for the average tourist? I've got enough kayaking experience I would just need the equipment and a guide! Have any tips? Thanks!

Hi Mariah, Yes is possible. We just need a weather window. Drop me an email if you want to discuss it further. david@paddleandpedal.ie
