viewpoint in Wicklow, Ireland
Lough Tay (Guinness Lake), Sally Gap
A jet-black lake with a white sand beach that looks like a poured pint of stout
Worth the wander
Stop at the roadside viewpoints above Lough Tay, framed by the cliffs of Luggala, where the Guinness family estate’s imported white sand completes the illusion — the lake shore itself is private, but the view from the R759 is free and unforgettable.
