Why Ireland's Cliffs of Moher Are the Ultimate Must-See Destination

As soon as we parked our teeny-tiny compact rental car and made our way up to the cliffs, down dropped my jaw. I knew the views would be spectacular, but I had no idea they would be this breathtaking. Now I understand why the Cliffs of Moher are the most visited natural tourist attraction in all of Ireland.

What amazed me the most about these awe-inspiring cliffs was their grandeur scale. Just look at the tiny colored dots on top of the cliffs in the picture above. Can you believe those specks are people? Soaring 700 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, these rugged cliffs portray nature in its purest form. Breathing in the fresh sea-salt air while standing firm in my stance soaking in the surrounding beauty, I couldn't help but become hypnotized by the roaring waves crashing into the coastline below.
