– The Surf Coast has its name for a reason – with pounding waves interrupting serene silence all around, thrill-seekers fall in love with this part of the Wild Atlantic Way. Catch some waves at Mullaghmore Head, cruise past the impressive Dún Briste sea stack at Downpatrick Head, or visit the dramatic Ben Bulben mountain.
