About Dumhach Beach

Dumhach is a long Green Coast beach on the island of Inishbofin, off the Connemara coast, a sweep of white sand reached by ferry from Cleggan and a short walk from the harbour. There is no lifeguard, so swimming should be taken with care, but the clear water, the dunes and the island peace make it idyllic. One of two beautiful Green Coast beaches on Inishbofin.
