About Spiddal Beach

Spiddal Beach is a natural beach or shoreline feature on the Galway Bay West in County Galway. On the map, this 120 metres-wide shore is distinct from Céibh an Spidéil, 560 metres away in a straight line. 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.
