The place

About Trá Poll na gCaorach, Inis Oírr

It is a scenic quiet small sandy beach on the north eastern shore of the island of Inis Oirr in outer Galway Bay. It is popular among locals and is accessed by a local tar road. The setting requires boat access; confirm permission, landing conditions, weather, tide and a safe return plan before travelling. 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.
