Galway City Council has recently installed two shelters at Ballyloughane Beach, with spectacular murals painted by local artist, Ró (Ronan J Connor).
The murals portray the sun setting in Galway Bay in blues and yellows – complimenting views of the Bay and the beach.
Ballyloughan Beach is a popular location for swimming, walking, windsurfing, kite surfing – and building sandcastles, especially as the summer months approach!
Other facilities at Ballyloughane Beach include toilets, picnic tables, cycle parking, car parking, ramp access to the beach, and a biodiversity-rich walking loop at the headland, where the Buaile Bó cows graze over winter.
Lifeguards are on duty during the summer months to ensure that swimmers are kept safe as they enjoy the sun and surf we’re hoping for.
The purchase and installation of the shelters were supported by Councillor Terry O’Flaherty’s Local Improvement Scheme allocation.
