Port Chorrúch is a pretty beach on the island of Inishmore in the Aran Islands. It has the distinction of being a seal-watching site, where seals come to bask in the weak Irish sunshine. A wild place to discover for ocean nature lovers.
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!
