A populated place.
Quartz crystals can be found near here per Stephen Moreton in https://www.mindat.org/mesg-31421.html
"The best exposed examples are in the small coves just north of Dunquin, near the tip of the peninsula. Walk down the ramp to where the ferries leave for the Blasket Islands then check out the 2nd, 3rd and 4th coves to the north. Beware you can get rapidly cut off by the tide here."
