From the car park we took the right hand boardwalk to the beach then followed the shoreline right round the peninsular and back inland to the road bridge. It was high tide and very wet, but was just manageable . The sea walk was spectacular, as the big waves crashed in. Seals basked on the opposite shore, oblivious to the sound of gunfire from the military firing range. A stunning 2hr circular walk despite the heavy rain on the way back!

We stayed at the Slieve Donard on a spa-stay deal. Wow this is a classy hotel. We were upgraded to a sea view which is the advantage of visiting during November I guess, but there were plenty of people there, the hotel wasn’t empty. Set in lovely grounds beside the sea, this is a large hotel with multiple restaurants and bars. Breakfast was incredible - look out for the cream, honey and WHISKEY that you’re encouraged to have with your porridge - that really set me up for the day! It was impressive to read the booklets on the tables about where in Northern Ireland all the breakfast ingredients were sourced from, and read the interviews with the local business owners. In the evening we had cocktails in the Charlie Chaplin bar, lovely place and good cocktails, the staff even went off menu when my husband asked for a particular favourite cocktail of his. Hotel guests can use the pool and sauna/steam room/jacuzzi at any time. The second day we then went to the spa area for massages - would highly recommend this as this area also has its own sauna/steam room/jacuzzi on a different floor to the one for hotel guests. I visited on a Tuesday morning and had the place to myself. I could really relax here. All staff were so friendly. Do check out the museum room documenting the history of the hotel.
