Ireland Cliffs near Clogher Beach, Ireland

Just a short flight from the Clogher Beach car park, these cliffs showcase the untamed power and texture of Ireland’s Atlantic coast. From above, you can see how centuries of waves have carved deep inlets into the rock, forming dramatic edges that drop straight into the sea. The contrast between the vibrant green fields and the dark, jagged cliffs makes this one of the most photogenic stretches on the Dingle Peninsula.

On clear days, you can even spot the Blasket Islands in the distance, adding a sense of vastness and wild isolation to the scene. This area embodies the essence of Ireland’s west coast — dramatic, unspoiled, and humbling in scale.

Launch your drone from the Clogher Beach car park, staying mindful of wind conditions, as gusts can be strong along the cliffs. A top-down angle like this works beautifully to emphasize the shapes, textures, and natural patterns of the coastline.
Try shooting in manual exposure to preserve details in both sea foam and land, and slightly underexpose to retain the deep blues of the water.

For cinematic shots, a 45° tilt capturing both the cliffs and horizon can add a strong sense of depth. Early morning or late afternoon light enhances the green tones and adds soft contrast to the rocks.

Access is easy — simply park at Clogher Beach (Clogher Strand), a small sandy cove surrounded by cliffs and hills. The parking area is free and offers a safe spot to explore or fly your drone.
From here, you can follow walking trails along the cliffs for more angles, but always stay on marked paths and keep a safe distance from the edges.
