Slea Head on Ireland’s Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry. This rugged coastline along the Wild Atlantic Way provides the dramatic setting for selkie mythology in Máiréad, The Selkie Queen. The spectacular craggy cliffs and endless photo opportunities make Ireland’s westerly point a perfect backdrop for Irish folklore storytelling. This moody capture of the Dingle Peninsula perfectly embodies the atmospheric setting of our selkie tale. The golden beach under stormy skies is exactly the kind of mysterious environment where Máiréad’s story unfolds. These are the kinds of beaches where, in the 1800s, locals said they could sometimes glimpse selkies gathering at twilight.
