Knockalla Ghost Ship Sea Kayak TourDeparting Portsalon Pier and Crossing Ballymastocker Bay and the 2nd Most Beautiful Beach in the World.
Checking out the Knockalla Sea Cliffs, Caves, hidden beaches and bird colonies.
Even during Heavy Rain brings many little Waterfall rolling of the mountains and into the sea, where we find our selfs beside the Knockalla Ghost ship.
The Horizon fishing vessel run a ground in a storm while huge waves battered the fishing vessel further into the cave, while all 7 fishermen were helpless captured between land and sea.
Luckily all 7 were air lifted to safety, after the 118 helicopter hovered for 90min close to cave walls.
Further along the Cliffs we pass Knockall Fort, 1 of 6 Forts built by the British with in 9 months. This fort with a mote was built to protect Lough Swilly against Invading forces, now a modern style home built inside the grounds and privately owned.
There is also a strong possibility of spotting some dolphins, seals, mink, sea otter and wild birds from the many colonies perched on the cliff face.
Paddling to Scraggy Bay and its many dark and narrow caves systems, shaped out from the many North Westerly Storms rolling up the Swilly.
