Dog's Bay

Dog's Bay is a unique, horseshoe-shaped beach located near Roundstone in County Galway. Its uniqueness lies in its snow-white sand, which is composed entirely of shell fragments rather than traditional limestone.

The beach is well sheltered from currents, offering crystal clear water ideal for swimming, windsurfing and kitesurfing.

The site is of international ecological significance due to its rare sand and grass habitats, which are only found on the west coast of Ireland and Scotland. The natural beauty and tranquil climate make it an ideal place for a relaxing holiday.
