Local artist Ró (Ronan J Connor) with the murals he painted.
Galway City Council has recently installed two shelters at Ballyloughane Beach, with spectacular murals painted by local artist, Ró (Ronan J Connor).
The murals portray the sun setting in Galway Bay in blues and yellows - complimenting views of the Bay and the beach, which is a popular location for swimming, walking, windsurfing, kite surfing – and building sandcastles!
Other facilities at Ballyloughane beach include toilets, picnic tables, cycle parking, car parking, ramp access to the beach, and a biodiversity-rich walking loop at the headland, where the Buaile Bó cows graze over winter. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer months.
The purchase and installation of the shelters were supported by Councillor Terry O’Flaherty’s Local Improvement Scheme allocation.
