Description
The rocky shores of Mizen Head in West County Cork meet the Atlantic Ocean at the most south-westerly point in Ireland.
For many sailors, this is the last view of land before leaving -- or the first upon entering -- Europe. An old signal station, a weather station and a lighthouse are on the head itself, which is almost an island, connected to the rest of the peninsula by a suspension bridge over a deep rocky canyon.
Now a major tourist attraction, it features a visitor center and museum with maritime displays and exhibits related to the early days of transatlantic shipping and communications.
