Island 422 - Dooghbeg Point, County Galway

Dooghbeg Point is a very small uninhabited tidal island located a mile to the west of the town of Clifden in County Galway and a few hundred metres to the south of Clifden Boat Club.  There is a small parking area in front of the boat club and it didn't say it was a private car park for the boat club but it might be. 

Dooghbeg Point, which is linked to the mainland at low tide by a pebble beach, is only a couple of metres above the high tide level but it is covered in grass with clumps of kidney vetch, scurvy grass and sea mayweed.  The island is about 80 metres long by 20 metres wide.
