The place

About An Tráighín Álainn, Skeam West

An Tráighín Álainn is a small sandy cove on the western side of Skeam West in Roaringwater Bay. Aerial imagery shows a distinct pocket of pale sand enclosed by rock. Skeam West is privately owned and reached by boat, so this page maps the natural shoreline and does not imply public access. The island also preserves the remains of an early medieval church, part of the much older story of the Skeam Islands.
