Photos of Roundstone HarbourIn front of O\'Dowds is one of the most picturesque working harbours in Ireland. On a clear day you will have a panorama of mountains, sea and the ever changing Connemara sky all reflecting in the water in front of you! The sunrise over Roundstone harbour is particularly breathtaking. The harbour is a hive of activity in summer with fishermen busy landing their catch of lobster, shrimp, crab and mackerel.
