People travelling to the beach in Connemara for the fine weather and Bank Holiday are being reminded to watch they don’t block emergency access when parking.

Gardaí in Clifden have been expecting large numbers of visitors to beaches in the Connemara area.

Dog’s Bay Beach and Gurteen Beach in Roundstone in particular are very popular with people looking to spend time by the sea.

However, with the narrow roads and lack of large scale parking infrastructure, Gardaí have cautioned visitors not to obstruct traffic.

“We are reminding all motorists to park responsibly and ensure that emergency service vehicles have access at all times.”
