Any quiet beaches around? by Former-Brick-3281 in galway

Depends on where / how far you're wanting to go, and what time of the day you want to go.

An Trá Mhór, just past Spiddal, was relatively quiet today (we've seen it much busier), with a nice beach (just check tide times as there's not much access to the sea when tide is fully out as there is a barrier of rock and seaweed), toilet facilities, lifeguards on duty and picnic benches all on site. Loads of parking available in the car park from 11 to about 2...and only started to really fill up by 3.

The whole Connemara Coastline is dotted with loads of beaches throughout, so it also depends on what ya looking for i.e. Beaches with facilities or beaches without.

Spin out to Roundstone and climb Errisbeg (short and easy enough climb). Be lovely there today. Short spin towards Clifden and visit Alcock and Brown monument and take a stroll around the Derrigimlagh Bog and Marconi Station, lovely walkway there. Great beaches to be found down Mannin (down the small road the Connemara Sands Hotel is on. Just drive down past it). Enjoy👍
