The road passes right alongside Mannin Bay. A beach so beautiful, it's hard not to get off to go and have a closer look. The crystal clear waters are very inviting, it's easy to see why it's sometimes called the Irish Seychelles.

A geological masterpiece along the R341. This beach is not made of sand, but of the fossilized remains of calcareous seaweed (maerl), which gives it a brilliant white color and a unique texture. When the sun shines, the water here turns such a bright turquoise that you'll feel like you're in the tropics. For cyclists, this is an ideal place to take off your shoes and walk on the white grains. Note the contrast between the white beach, the black rocks, and the deep blue Atlantic Ocean.
