Inis Oirr Beach

Smallest of the three Aran Islands in Galway Bay with 281 residents as of 2016. From the pier you are greeted with a pristine carpeted white sandy beach facing clear crystal  turquoise water and plenty of fishing boats, their nets and fishermen returning at the end of the day with their catch.

The island is 3km by 3km wide with small hills and intricate little valley's and is easily covered by foot or by bike. The walk to the lighthouse or the shipwreck of the Plassey is a great occasion where you feel the island with its diverse landscape unfold before your eyes. The local community still adhere to the traditional Irish way of life.
