How journey planning works

Destination, access and nearby stops

Tránaun Beach, Inishturk is in Tully, County Galway. Routes here end at the point the map records for this place. The entrance has not been verified, so the last few metres are for you to judge.

The nearest settlement is Tully, 14.3 km north-west of the beach. The register records no parking here. Getting to the town is not getting to the beach, so the journey below is worked out to the beach itself and the last stretch on foot is measured rather than left out.

Questions people ask

Is the water clean at Tránaun Beach, Inishturk?

Tránaun Beach, Inishturk is on the EPA's list but is not one of the waters it tests, so the State works out no grade for it and none exists. Nothing here says the water is clean or dirty, because nobody has published either.

Is swimming restricted at Tránaun Beach, Inishturk?

The register leaves this blank for Tránaun Beach, Inishturk, which it does for the 89 waters it does not monitor. A blank is not a no. Check with Mayo County Council.

Does Tránaun Beach, Inishturk have a Blue Flag?

No Blue Flag, but the register records a Green Coast award, which recognises clean water and an unspoilt shore rather than facilities.

Is there a lifeguard at Tránaun Beach, Inishturk?

No. The register records no lifeguard here, so nobody is watching the water.

How do you get to Tránaun Beach, Inishturk without a car?

No stop in the national timetable is within two and a half kilometres of Tránaun Beach, Inishturk. That is what the published timetable holds rather than a statement that nothing goes near: services that run on demand, and routes that file no schedule, are not in the feed at all.

Where does this come from?

The Environmental Protection Agency's list of places people swim, which it calls the bathing water register, read on 2026-09-20, where this record was last changed on 2021-06-28. Water quality, awards, lifeguards and facilities are the EPA's own fields, and a field it leaves blank is shown as not recorded rather than as a no. The distance to the nearest town is this site's own measurement, in a straight line.

Water quality, awards, lifeguards, toilets, parking and access are the Environmental Protection Agency’s own fields, from its bathing water register, read 2026-09-20. The classification covers four years of sampling and is not a reading for today: after heavy rain the water can be worse than the classification suggests, and the EPA and the local authority post notices when it is. Positions are the EPA’s grid references, projected to latitude and longitude. Journeys are the National Transport Authority’s published timetable.
