Ballycotton cliff walk, Coastal footpath in Ballycotton, Ireland.
The path stretches over 5 miles along the Irish coast from Ballycotton village to Ballyandreen Beach, bordered by meadows and ocean views.
The black lighthouse visible from the trail was painted this color in 1902 to distinguish it from the Capel Island beacon for maritime safety.
Local fishing boats supply fresh catches directly to restaurants in Ballycotton Harbor, maintaining traditional maritime connections in this coastal region.
The three-hour loop trail includes several stiles and requires appropriate footwear, as the path contains uneven surfaces unsuitable for bicycles or strollers.
This trail offers views of one of only two black lighthouses in Ireland, standing against the backdrop of the Celtic Sea.
