In the shadow of Croagh Patrick, a mountain steeped in the legacy of St. Patrick, lies the breathtaking Clew Bay. With over 100 islands, this green haven in County Mayo is home to seals, shipwrecks and at one point, a Beatle - the isle of Dorinish was formerly owned by John Lennon! Guarded by a site of pilgrimage and legends tied to St. Patrick himself, this spot is a definite must-see.

Will you be adding this natural wonder to your island of Ireland itinerary? ☘️

Described by Lonely Planet “as a 'crock of gold', the half-moon bay of golden sand unfolds at the foot of steep cliffs and grassy slopes. Weathered by stormy seas and the fickle Irish weather, the beach offers an awe-inspiring vista that changes with the seasons. The sight of basking sharks offshore is not an uncommon spectacle, adding to the bay's natural allure”.

Keem Bay's accolade as Ireland's best beach highlights “the secluded crescent of golden sand that graces the western edge of Achill Island. Surrounded on three sides by the towering Croaghaun Cliffs - the highest in Ireland - visitors must navigate a steep footpath to reach the beach. Despite the unpredictable weather and the volatile Atlantic, Keem Bay stands out as one of Europe’s most beautiful spots, a fact confirmed by its prestigious Blue Flag status.”

This recognition joins a long list of accolades for Keem Beach and Achill Island, which includes being ranked as one of the World’s Top 5 beaches by Conde Naste Traveller. Moreover, Lonely Planet acknowledged Achill’s Atlantic Drive as one of the best driving routes in Europe.

These acknowledgements truly place Keem Beach and Achill Island on the international tourism map, presenting them as must-visit destinations for avid explorers and beach lovers alike.
