About Barna Pier and Beach

Barna Pier and Beach is a sand beach or shoreline feature on the Galway Bay Urban Coast in County Galway. For map orientation, Trá Saorphort (Bóithrín Mags) is a separate shoreline feature approximately 390 metres from here; this footprint spans about 130 metres. Public access is recorded, but the usable shore and final approach can still change with tide, weather and local conditions. Treat it as an unserviced natural shore: do not assume parking, toilets or lifeguard cover, and check tide, weather and sea conditions before entering the water.
