The place

About Portumna Bathing Place

Portumna Bathing Place is an official inland bathing location beside the River Shannon and Lough Derg system. It is treated as a waterside bathing place rather than a coastal beach. Public access is recorded, but flow, weather, water quality and local restrictions can change. Follow current signs and check the present availability of facilities or seasonal supervision before entering the water.
