Inspired by a time when life was inseparable from the sea. Old maps of Lismore show more than 17 named ports that today look like small stony beaches breaking up the rugged coastline
Today it looks very isolated on the South Eastern coast of Lismore, with no buildings (except a cow shed) for miles, but this small stony beach is only a short walk from an old ruined mill and another beach called Port Balure. It may have been a bustling community hundreds of years ago.
