Even when the Lettergesh Beach weather isn&rsquo;t so ideal, the sandy beach is still well worth checking out and great for a saunter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Try to time your visit for when the tide is out to get the most out of the long sandy stretch of beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the <strong>car park <\/strong>side of the beach, there are larger loose stones and pebbles above the high tide mark. The rest of the beach is mostly sandy, with one or two rocky outcrops which double as good vantage points. Flowing into the sea on the far side of the beach from the car park is the <strong>Culfin River <\/strong>and beyond is <strong>Culfin Beach<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lettergesh Beach Quiet Man &ndash; Fun Fact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1.jpg\" alt=\"View of a cottage beside Lettergesh Beach.\" class=\"wp-image-7668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1.jpg.webp\" alt=\"View of a cottage beside Lettergesh Beach.\" class=\"wp-image-7668 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1-980x654.jpg.webp 980w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1-480x320.jpg.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_with-Cottage_Kevin_George_1.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>View of a cottage beside Lettergesh Beach.

In this scene, the character of <strong>Sean Thornton<\/strong> (played by John Wayne) holds his horse back at the beginning of the horse race, before ultimately going on to be the overall winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Horses race along the strand, around the rocks and up into the sand dunes, before returning to the beach for the final furlong in the scene. Crowds of spectators cheer on the riders on the beach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the horse racing sequence is only a short scene, the wildness and beauty of this beach is still very evident.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do on Lettergesh Beach?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_.jpg\" alt=\"The white sands of Lettergesh Beach.\" class=\"wp-image-7670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_.jpg.webp\" alt=\"The white sands of Lettergesh Beach.\" class=\"wp-image-7670 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_-980x654.jpg.webp 980w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_-480x320.jpg.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The white sands of Lettergesh Beach.

It is located just off the Renvyle Peninsula, north east of Tully Cross, by the townland of Gowlaun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lettergesh Beach Directions &ndash; How do I get there?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are traveling from Clifden, follow the <strong>Connemara Loop road<\/strong> from <strong>Tully Cross<\/strong> as it travels north in the direction of Killary Harbour. About 0.5 km after Lettergesh school there is a signposted turnoff to the left for the beach down a narrow road. At the end of this road, you will find the public car park and Lettergesh Beach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: You&rsquo;ll find the beach directly if you enter &ldquo;Lettergesh Beach car park&rdquo; in Google Maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Lettergesh Beach Parking like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a relatively large car park on the western side of this beach, which does not fill up as quickly as the nearby <strong>Glassilaun Beach<\/strong> car park. Access to the gravel car park is via a narrow side road.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: The <strong>rough surface on the access road and car park<\/strong> might cause some issues for low vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beach is directly in front of the car park. Before you reach the sandy part of the beach, there is a section with loose stones that must be crossed and maybe difficult for people with mobility issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n                <div class=\"ml-form-embed\" data-account=\"1451834:z8v5q8j9c3\" data-form=\"1342994:q3e2p6\">\n                <\/div>\n            \n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does it take to travel from Clifden to Lettergesh Beach?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should plan about <strong>35 minutes<\/strong> to travel the Connemara Loop by car from Clifden to Lettergesh 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 Galway to Lettergesh Beach?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Galway is located about <strong>1.5 hours<\/strong> away from Lettergesh Beach by car.&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 Leenaun (Leenane) to Lettergesh Beach?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The drive by car from Leenaun to Lettergesh Beach takes a little less than about <strong>25 minutes<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you swim at Lettergesh Beach?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2.jpg\" alt=\"Lettergesh Beach at low tide. \" class=\"wp-image-7666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Lettergesh Beach at low tide. \" class=\"wp-image-7666 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2-980x654.jpg.webp 980w, https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2-480x320.jpg.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.letsgoireland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Lettergesh_Beach_White_Sand_Kevin_George_2.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Lettergesh Beach at low tide.
