A very popular spot for summer sun worshippers or year round beachcombers, this lovely place lies on the southern shores of Galway bay a short distance east of Ballyvaughan Village. Good parking facilities are available here, while in summer lifeguards also patrol the shallow waters of the bay.
An impressive, but badly damaged dune system, lies behind the pleasant beach. It’s a good place to look for plants such as the autumn gentian and pyramidal orchid. Fine views of the Burren may be had all around, and this is also a nice spot to watch the sun go down.
