Can’t say enough how wonderful this beach was- especially for a dip! We were camping in Seal Caves Caravan and holiday home park across the street, and we felt so lucky to have this perfect beach so close!

We all enjoyed the Achill experience...from my 2 year old nephew, my sister and I and the grandparents...we all learned so much about the sea life around the island. Tom was brilliant at explaining it all and keeping it exciting and engaging. The little nephew loved touching the starfish and baby cat shark. The fish are kept in very natural surroundings and Tom assured us that they are released back into the sea after a while "a little holiday" as Tom put it. Great place to spend a few hours especially when it's raining out. Nice little gift shop is an added bonus.
