Well, here goes! So many beaches to choose from!

The last couple of weeks here have been glorious weather and it’s no better time than to get to the beach with Abiidoodle.

A few days ago we visited Larbrax Beach, which is a short drive from Portpatrick. It is highlighted on the map we leave in the cottage but is only really suitable for 4 x 4 or on foot. On the approach the initial part of the track down to the beach is quite smooth passing through open countryside. It then becomes quite bumpy. Anyway, after a bumpy trip down there with Abii wimpering and getting very excited on the back seat we are there. As always, the beach is deserted, only us, the sky, the sea and the birds – pure bliss!

The tide was out too so they were miles of golden and and rocky outcrops to walk on. of course, Abii has a ball – she runs round and round in circles collecting up sea weed,sticks and the odd washed up tennis ball as she runs. It truly is such a peaceful place to visit and is so beautiful. Killantrigan lighthouse over looks the bay and you can see right across to the Irish coast with the ferries back and forth from Belfast and Larne.

After a refreshing walk on the beach what better way to finish off a perfect afternoon than to have a lovely ice cold drink in Portpatrick – sitting on the sea front watching the world go by. Cheers folks!
