Aillebrack, Silver Hill
About Aillebrack, Silver Hill
Aillebrack (Silver Hill) is a Green Coast beach near Ballyconneely in Connemara, a white-sand strand of dazzling clarity beside the golf links. There is no lifeguard and it is open to Atlantic swell, drawing surfers and kitesurfers, so swimming should be taken with care. The white sand, turquoise water and Connemara light make it one of the most beautiful beaches in the west, but one for confident swimmers.
