Inishturk Island  

The most beautiful of islands

Inishturk is a small beautiful island, 5km x 2.5km, located 9 miles (14.5km) off the west coast of Mayo. It rises boldly from the wild North Atlantic in wall-like cliffs to the northwest and steep hills to the north on which stands the ruins of the old signal tower 688 ft above sea level.

Walking

The rugged island landscape will delight the walker. You can ramble around the island at your leisure and explore the many small country lanes that span the Island.

There are two recognised walks on the Island. The shorter one, the inner walk is a nice easy saunter, and a longer cliff walk through the commonage is more challenging.

Beaches

Young and old alike will relish the blue waters and fine sand of Tranaun and Curraun.

These unspoilt beaches, protected by coves on Inishturk's south-east coast, offer stunning views across to Mayo and the mountains of Connemara.Tránaun is a beautiful sandy beach with crystal clear waters. Awarded the green coast flag in 2018 for its bathing water quality and purity it is definitely worth a visit during your time on the island.
