Visit Ballydowane Beach, Ireland

High, vertical cliffs at the back of the beach in Ballydwan Bay are composed of conglomerate and sandstone rocks of Devonian age. These are red in colour and have abundant pebbles of white vein quartz within them. It's park of the Copper Coast Geopark. A feature of particular interest is seen at the eastern end of the beach. The red conglomerates are seen in an unconformable contact with Ordovician volcanic rock.
