Resorts of Ireland
Majestic castles, delicious beer and clover shamrock are the main symbols and business cards of Ireland, which are known even to those who have never traveled further than their own summer cottage. A rich excursion program in a small European country casts doubt on the need for other types of recreation besides sightseeing and tasting the famous beer, but in vain! Ireland's beach resorts are very popular not only among its residents, but also among Europeans who prefer a moderate vacation under the not hot northern sun of hot southern exoticism with all the ensuing consequences.
For or Against?
Among the undoubted advantages of a vacation in Ireland is a not too long and relatively inexpensive direct flight from the capital of Russia. Options with a connection in one of the European capitals also have a right to exist and may be even cheaper, there is a "catch" time of sales from airlines.
The mild oceanic climate and pleasant summer temperatures make it possible to relax in the resorts of Ireland, even for those who cannot bear the heat from the word "absolutely". By the way, Irish hotels also make a comfortable vacation, the rooms in which not only correspond to the declared categories, but often surpass them in the number of pleasant options..
When shopping in stores in Ireland, you should pay attention to the tax free system. So it will turn out to return the amount of tax paid when crossing the border in the opposite direction..
Choosing a beach!
It is customary to spend the whole day on the beaches of Ireland, since the climate allows you to spend hours in the sun even at the height of summer:
- Ireland's beach resort Rosnoulah is located in County Donegal. Its main attractions are a two-kilometer strip of perfect golden sand and clear sea..
- In the southeast of the country, the most popular summer destination is the coast of County Wicklow. Sand dunes cover the surf and create a special microclimate, and a variety of beach activities will not let fans of active recreation by the water get bored.
- The ruins of an ancient castle separate the northern part of the Irish resort Bellibunion from its southern outskirts. There are spa centers on the local beaches where you can order a course of thalassotherapy, and the local golf club boasts a good course in the signature Irish green..
- The opening scene of Saving Private Ryan was filmed on Balineskern Beach in County Kerry, and Simone Beach is best suited for families with children - it is equipped with rescue towers and has a gentle entrance to the water.
