Renville swim bouy

Out on the Renville Peninsula, this swim buoy marks one of those spots locals quietly keep to themselves — a calm stretch of water where you can actually get in for a proper swim without too much fuss. It’s not a playground or a park, just the sea doing its thing, which is exactly the point. Families come out here for the fresh air and the views across Galway Bay, and honestly it’s hard to beat on a half-decent day. Worth the short drive from Oranmore if you know, you know.
