The place

About The South Strand, Skeam West

The South Strand is a tiny sand-and-rock pocket on the south-eastern side of Skeam West, below the island buildings and close to its early church ruins. Aerial imagery confirms that it is separate from An Trá Mhór and An Tráighín Álainn. The island is privately owned and accessible by boat, with no public beach facilities or exact Google review page found.
