Tra Mor in Spiddal, Co. Galway:

Amy in Galway says: "But what people don't know is it you go past the turn for that beach there's another one a couple of hundred yards down the road leading to a beach called Trá Beag. Very secluded and quiet but the best part is it doesn't get too deep until you get pretty far out so it's a great place to bring kids."

PLEASE REMEMBER:

We are truly blessed to have the coastline we have in this country. Keep it clean.

There's enough plastic in the oceans. Thanks a million.
