The place

About Omey Island Strand

Omey Island Strand is the broad sandy crossing between the mainland and Omey Island. Access across the strand is tide-dependent and can be cut off by rising water, so confirm the tidal window and leave enough time for a safe return. The official bathing-water point and mapped strand are one place. Check present notices, weather, route conditions and facilities before travelling or entering the water.
