A Family Day Out in Connemara

Fresh air, winding roads, spectacular views and the occasional “Are we nearly there yet?” from the back!

Connemara is made for exploring on two wheels. Beaches, bogs, mountains and plenty of places to stop for treats along the way.

You can come to Connemara without cycling… but really, why would you?

The stunning Coral Beach, Mannin Bay

White shores, turquoise water and Connemara mountains in the distance. On a sunny day, you’d be forgiven for wondering if you’d somehow cycled all the way to the Caribbean!

Mannin Bay… proof that Connemara does tropical too. 😉

Now that’s a house with a view…

Connemara has a way of hiding its best treasures down little roads and around unexpected corners. Tiny beaches, quiet coves, white sand and clear Atlantic water, some so tucked away you can have them almost entirely to yourself.

You could spend your days here discovering a different beach every day… and still leave a few for next time.
