  • Gorgeous beach, even with the rubbish weather! A little gem that’s hidden away - watch out for jelly fish though - we saw lots!

  • Absolutely gorgeous beach but parking can be tricky as it's limited. The road in to the beach is very narrow so good luck to ya if a car is coming towards you...eekkk.. The water is crystal clear...

  • One of the most surreal beaches on the west coast of Ireland. Parking very limited, but once you get there it's great for long walks, views and relaxing. Highly recommend.
  • A stunning beach in the Connemara - aqua blue clear waters and white sandy beach. Only downside can be parking particularly on a warm sunny day.
  • Pristine beach located in very remote corner of Connemara. Quiet area to go for a walk along the white sands. Well worth the detour off main roads.
  • All the previous reviews mention both access and parking, so I thought I'd include some pictures. The road down is narrow, if you meet a car someone will be reversing. The car park is not that small, and there is parking along a wall beside the car park. Needless to say, on a sunny day I'd arrive early! There are bins and 2 porta loos in the car park. Beach is great! Lovely sandy beach with very few rocks, and it's shallow a good way out. Some fantastic views of Mweelrea.
  • Wonderful beach, perfect for swimming or a short walk. You can walk to one of the islets at low tide. White sand, turquoise water and mountains. Small carpark and diving center right beside it. Paradise when the sun shines:)
