Dzogchen Beara is a Tibetan Buddhist retreat centre on cliffs west of Castletownbere, looking straight out over the Atlantic. Even if you are not coming for a course or meditation session, the site is worth knowing about because the location is extraordinary: wind, sea, open sky and a very un-Irish flash of Himalayan colour.
Visitors should check opening times before going, especially outside summer. Treat it as a quiet place rather than a casual viewpoint; people come here for retreat, grief work and silence as much as for scenery.
