Castlerock Beach


I have mentioned Castlerock before - it's a small coastal village a few miles from Coleraine.
I like the beach here because it's quite an easy walk from the promenade to the Barmouth. I did that walk early this morning, before work.
I would like to live right beside the beach, but perhaps I'd never get to work then...
The photo above was taken from close to the Barmouth looking towards the village. The early morning mist is just clearing away.


This is where the beach ends - in a contrast between old and new. Like all the seaside towns and villages in Northern Ireland, Castlerock is being swamped with new apartment buildings. Or rather, it was being swamped - the housing market is dead, no-one wants a holiday apartment, so all building work has stopped for a while.
