Irish coast

Atlantic Celtic edge

The Irish coast is the shoreline of Ireland, known for dramatic cliffs, rugged headlands, and Atlantic exposure.

The term appears in maritime contexts, weather reports, and travel writing: Storms battered the Irish coast, We drove along the Irish coast.

It encompasses both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland's coastal areas.
