Connaught, Ireland
Dog's Bay
Dog's Bay is a clothing-optional beach in County Galway, Connaught, Ireland. Irish naturism has been organised since 1980 under the Irish Naturist Association (INA), which maintains a small network of affiliated clubs and recognized beaches. Informal naturism has a longer tradition — particularly at remote Atlantic beaches on the west and southwest coast (Kerry, Clare, Galway, Connemara) and at a number of beaches around Dublin Bay. The Irish naturist tradition is less formally organised than in most Western European countries and operates largely by custom and local tolerance. Irish law addresses public indecency under the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 1993 and the broader public-order framework. The operative standard is offence to a reasonable person in the circumstances; at established naturist locations with long-standing practice, that standard is generally not met.
