147h. Mannin Bay Blueway Beach, Connemara, Wild Atlantic Way Coast, Co. Galway, Ireland

The beautiful white sandy Mannin Bay Beach in Connemara, Ireland, is a stunning coastal gem known for its unique sand composition. Unlike typical sandy beaches, the sand here is made up of coralline seaweed and the skeletal remains of marine creatures like barnacles, mollusks, and sponges (calcareous pieces of coralline algae). This type of sand, known as maerl, gives the beach its distinctive coarse texture and light color, often mistaken for coral sand.

The beach is part of the Mannin Bay Blueway, a conservation area that offers opportunities for snorkeling, kayaking, and exploring marine life. Its crystal-clear waters and scenic surroundings make it a must-visit spot for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

The special beautiful beach at Mannin Bay, Connemara, is in an area of special conservation

There is good car parking on the road (to the right of the picture)
