  We live in a very beautiful part of Ireland. We live close to the beach. I am an all year round swimmer and I would encourage people to join me for a daily swim. There are a couple of local pubs. One nearby pub has a weekly music session where anyone can join in. Our local beach has a sauna, yoga on the beach classes, a coffee shop and a pizza food truck. So much to enjoy in your time off.
