Every rock and rock formation is descriptively named in Gaelic. After a while we noticed that the rock was becoming much smaller. We were caught on that rock by the incoming tide and almost had to swim for the distant shore, or be lost. Fortunately, at the last minute the fishing boat that had dropped us on the rock returned to save us. Each rock has a story, although I believe there are more stories than there are rocks.
Fishing is always possible from the rocks behind the house.
Boating and deep sea fishing can be organized at Downings. Hiking and climbing is quite good. Swimming is good at the excellent beach in Downings. There is a beach at Dooey, but the current is too strong to swim. Other close-by beaches are at Melmore.
