    Does anyone know the tide times for Rathmullan and Dunfanaghy beaches? (or where I can get them?) I want to walk in evenings but don't want to get there when the tide is so far in that there isn't a beach to walk on...

    I would have said 'Ask any young fella'.:)

    When we were 'young fellas' the most imprtnt decisions of the day in summer were based on 'What times the tide?':)

    Lol......used to be like that when I was a kid but now have to rely on an app to know the tides. Not sure if that's progression or not :D

    Einstein was once asked the speed of sound said
    "[I do not] carry such information in my mind since it is readily available in books."

    so you could call yourself Einstein of the 21st century

    If you intend to walk the beach in Dunfanaghy, be very wary of the incoming tide if you walk over towards Horn Head where the channel is (over on the left). The tide can come in behind your back rapidly and you can find yourself cut off from the main beach, happened me one time & it was no craic.
