Long Point Gets Major Upgrade

Loughrea’s beloved Long Point is getting a major upgrade with new toilets, expanded parking, and an active travel route for walkers, cyclists, and cars. The project, long demanded by locals, will consolidate parking into three zones totaling 155 spots, add bike parking, and feature a new larger facility with changing rooms and outdoor space — while keeping the existing shower block. Plans even include a potential food vendor to keep facilities open year-round. Though some original ideas like a viewing deck and kayak slipway were dropped to protect conservation areas, the spot’s recent Blue Flag award proves its quality — and these upgrades promise to make it even better.
