Ballinderreen is a village and townland in south Co Galway. It is located on the N67 route between Kilcolgan and Kinvara. It is approximately 22km south of Galway City. The village itself is quite small with a pub, a primary school, a church (Roman Catholic, St. Colmans), creche, several sports pitches (mainly used for hurling), a nursing home and a community centre. A small shopping centre including a fuel station, convenience store, hairdressers and take away restaurant also opened in 2009. It is 1.5km from the shores of Galway Bay. Amongst the areas surrounding it includes Brandy Harbour and Dunbulcaun Bay to the north and Kinvara Bay to the west. Aran Pier, Mulroog Pier and Tarrea Pier shelter some private pleasure crafts on these shores and offer views of Galway Bay. Public transport to the village is poor with only two to three services per day passing through the village. However Bus Éireann and CityLink operate services frequently through Kilcolgan, five minutes away, to Galway, Limerick, Cork and Shannon Airport.
