With some of the most photogenic views in Ireland, a visit to the sea louth scenic seafood trail is sure to induce some serious FOMO. Here are eleven of the most breathtaking spots along the trail that you won’t want to miss!
1. The Carlingford Lough Greenway runs from Carlingford Marina to Omeath, with dazzling coastal views all the way along. Make sure your rental bike from OnYerBike or Carlingford Greenway Bike Hire is in shot, too.
2. The Navvy Bank in Dundalk is not only a great place to stretch the legs, but it is a fabulous spot to take a picture! Watch out for one of the little red boats as they make their way back to Georges Quay, a striking pop of colour against this stunning backdrop.
3. Be dwarfed by St. Laurence’s Gate in Drogheda, one of the most instantly identifiable landmarks of Drogheda, part of the medieval fortifications of the history-rich town dating back to the 13th century.
4. The vast swath of sheltered sandy beach at Templetown is the perfect place to strike a pose as the sun sets.
5. The Haulbowline Lighthouse stands guard at the entrance to Carlingford Lough and Greenore Port. Built in 1870, the building has protected heritage status, and is best viewed from the Carlingford Lough Ferry.
6. Port Oriel, Clogherhead, is a kaleidoscope of colour that looks amazing on camera, as well as being home to the finest fish and chips in Ireland!
7. We can’t promise that you won’t be photo-bombed by Finn the dolphin while capturing incredible moments at Greenore.
8. Take to the water to see Carlingford Lough from an entirely new dimension. Carlingford Adventure Centre offers kayaking hire and tuition, as well as an array of other water and land-based activities designed to make the most of Carlingford’s stunning natural surroundings. Pick up the Carlingford stamp for your sea louth passport at the Carlingford Tourist Office or Garrett Mallon Design House on Newry Street.
9. The early bird catches the unforgettable sunrise at Salterstown Pier near Annagassan. Drink in far-reaching views out over the Dundalk Bay to the Cooley Peninsula and Mourne Mountains.
10. Lights, camera, action! Moody skies and far-reaching views make for a dramatic backdrop at Gyles Quay.
11. The pretty seaside village of Blackrock is always a good bet for a photo opportunity. Catch a sunrise to make your capture extra magical. Choose from three fantastic restaurants while you are there, all of which offer mouth-watering sea louth local seafood specials.
