Watch: Huge amount of sea foam stops people in their tracks at Bundoran beach

The foam covered the beach, reaching the car park and the town's seafront paths

It may have been the huge waves that drew photographers to Bundoran's main beach, but it was the massive amounts sea foam coming in on the tide that had everyone mesmerised.

It was particularly confusing for dogs out for a walk with their owners on a crisp November day. They were somewhat baffled to arrive at the beach only to find it had disappeared under a huge blanket of foam.

The foam not only covered the main beach, but also the access steps, adjacent paths and was even blowing into the car park.
