Experience Description
Explore the gorgeous coastline of the Strandhill peninsula and taste the
fruits of the Atlantic Ocean. You’ll take a walk with an experienced maritime
archaeologist who will explain the landscape around you. You will be guided
through golden dunes and across stunning Culleenamore Strand which is
also a seal sanctuary, so keep your eyes peeled and cameras at the ready.
This bay is known for a number of prehistoric shell midden sites which are
the discarded remains of shellfish and are thousands of years old. At one
of the sites, freshly harvested mussels will be cooked for you on the rocks
by one of Trá Bán Restaurant’s expert chefs. You can quite literally dine as
your ancestors did, in exactly the same place. This experience is seasonal.
German and some Spanish spoken by guide.
