Omey is a sheltered island located 600m approx. off shore. The island is 1 sq. mile and is covered by wind blown sandy soils. Access is by Connemara's only sub sea road via the village of Claddaghduff. The beach is to the northern edge of the island. There is an early Christian monastic site and it is a good place to view rolling Atlantic surf, dolphins and choughs. The interior of the island is taken up by Fahy Lough where swans, ducks, brown trout and the occasional pair of otters can be seen. Lifeguard: No Dogs:
