From Knockamaney's Ben's you can view the famous Five Fingers Strand. At low tide you can see the wreck of the Twilight which sank in 1889, on route from Newfoundland to Derry. On a clear day you can see Tory Island to the west. The beach, which had lost its sand and for the past several years was an unattractive gravely surface, has now reverted to its former glory. The return of the beach sand was anticipated in our study. It was stored offshore in a delta, which has now been driven onshore by wave action. Over the past month significant amounts of sand have moved onshore and much more is still on its way as the delta disintegrates.
