Back to the future ...

Pleasant seems underblown, yet idyllic seems overblown. I hate to say it, bit the perfect description for Clontarf Reserve is "1950s". Could that possibly be an adjective? For mine, the beach is not commercialised. Yes, there is a Whippy van, but not under that name, and it sells coffee and croissants. I gather the cafe, Clonny's, ceased. Yes, the parking metres are daylight robbery, but there are free spots if you arrive early enough, and are prepared to hoof it a bit. There us not loud music. There are not ball games over nets by people with sculptured bodies. Yes, there is a lovely multicultural mix. I guess it is the family orientaion that appeals to me.

I think of it as a pleasant nook of a beach. Not exciting enough for the youth set. I understand why you like it.
