Dogs Bay Beach, A Horseshoe Shaped Bay With More Than A Mile Long Stretch Of White Sandy Beach In County Galway, Ireland Stock Photo

Dogs Bay is a horseshoe shaped bay with more than a mile long stretch of white sandy beach. It backs on to Gurteen Bay, and together they form a tombolo which juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. Similar to Gurteen Bay, the sand is not comprised of traditional limestone but rather made entirely of fragments of seashells which give it a pure white colour.
