Renvyle Beach (The Whitestrand)
About Renvyle Beach (The Whitestrand)
Renvyle, the White Strand at Tully, is a Green Coast beach on the Renvyle Peninsula in north Connemara, a sheltered crescent of white sand with views to the islands and the Mweelrea mountains. There is no lifeguard, so swimming should be taken with care, but the calm, clear water and stunning setting beneath the Connemara hills make it a beautiful, peaceful spot for a swim or a walk.
