Roadside beaches and a sheltered harbour add to An Spidéal's
(Spiddal's) appeal as a family holiday destination. From Spiddal Pier
there are deep-sea fishing trips available out along the bay or
around the stunning beauty of the Aran Islands. Move west again
along the road through Indreabhán (Inverin) where a turn to the right
or left will introduce the uninitiated to a world of marvellous hillside,
bogland or coastal walks. Sean Scoil Shailearna, the restored
primary school at Indreabhán houses a community-based insight
into nature and the elements in Connemara. From the airport at
Indreabhán Aer Árann flies daily to the three Aran Islands, in just six
short minutes flying time.
Spiddal Craft Centre
