Visit Port Chorrúch

A place to explore at low tide

Less than 2km from the village of Kilmurvey is a pretty beach, famous for its regular seal visits. To catch a glimpse of them, you’ll need to be discreet and go in at low tide.

Above all, don’t approach them: it’s crucial to respect their balance and habits.

At high tide, Kilmurvey beach is ideal for barefoot strolls in the water. Don’t hesitate to take a dip in summer: the water is a little cool, but perfect for those hot August days!
