It is located near the southern entrance to <strong>Killary Fjord.<\/strong> The fjord is the boundary between the counties of Galway and Mayo. The <strong>Mweelrea Mountains<\/strong>, which you can see from the Glassilaun Beach, are in County Mayo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glassilaun Beach Directions &ndash; How do I get there?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are traveling from south to north via <strong>Clifden<\/strong>, follow the<strong> Connemara Loop Road<\/strong> past <strong>Tully Cross<\/strong>, onwards through Gowlaun Townland (where <strong>Lettergesh School<\/strong> is located) for about 2.5 km (ca. 1.5 miles) where at a bend in the road you will find a small turnoff with <strong>signs for Glassilaun Beach and Scubadive West<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Leenane (or Leenaun), follow the Connemara Loop drive for about <strong>15 km<\/strong> (9 miles), where the signed turnoff will be on your right side (before the bend in the road). The <strong>turn off is a bit more difficult to see coming from this direction<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Handy Tip<\/strong>: <strong>Download the directions on Google Maps<\/strong> before you visit in case the internet coverage is poor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Glassilaun Beach parking like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is <strong>only a small car park at Glassilaun Beach<\/strong>. For most of the year, the car park can usually take the number of visitor cars, but as soon as the weather improves and people head to the beach, be warned that it does <strong>fill up very quickly<\/strong>. Then people park on the sides of the very narrow road.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <strong>little side road is not very wide<\/strong> so be prepared for some reversing along the way if you meet some oncoming vehicles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Please Note: No cars are allowed on the beach.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does it take to travel from Glassilaun Beach to Clifden?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The drive from Glassilaun Beach to Clifden takes roughly <strong>35 minutes by car<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does it take to travel from Galway to Glassilaun Beach?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes about <strong>1.5 hours to drive<\/strong> from Galway City to Glassilaun Beach, via Leenane and Oughterard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you swim at Glassilaun Beach?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is <strong>difficult to find official information<\/strong> about the suitability of Glassilaun Beach for swimming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is an information sign at the beach that says swimming and other water sports are permitted at the sandy beach. However, there is <strong>no lifeguard on duty at this location <\/strong>and the water and weather conditions mean that it may not always be safe to be in the water. <strong>Please use your best judgment and check locally for updated information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More useful information about swimming in Ireland can be found on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/watersafety.ie\/open-water-swimming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Water Safety Ireland<\/a><\/strong> website.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the water quality of Glassilaun Beach?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, the water quality of Glassilaun beach is <strong>sampled once a month during the bathing season<\/strong> and is very often assessed as &ldquo;<strong>Excellent<\/strong>&rdquo; by Galway County Council.
