About Oileán Chléire Beach

Oileán Chléire Beach sits within the coastal landscape of Cape Clear Island at the entrance to Roaringwater Bay. Island visitor information describes several beaches and piers used for swimming, including Trá Coinlín at South Harbour. The precise shore and route should be confirmed locally, as facilities and supervised bathing should not be assumed. Check tide, weather and sea conditions before treating any island shore as suitable for swimming.
