Trá Inis Oírr
About Trá Inis Oírr
Trá Inis Oírr is the main Blue Flag beach on Inis Oírr, the smallest of the Aran Islands, a sheltered crescent of white sand right beside the harbour and village. Lifeguarded in summer with calm, clear water, it is a safe, welcoming swimming beach. Reached by ferry from Doolin or Rossaveal and explored on foot or by bike, it captures the peace and beauty of island life.
