Omey Island
Omey is a tidal Island in Connemara off the coast of County Galway in the west of Ireland. It has a few summer cottages but no permanent residents. From the mainland it's inconspicuous and almost hidden: you could drive along the coast road and not even spot it in the panorama.| Tap on a place to explore it |
