Keem Bay and Achill Island

Keem Bay is a sheltered Atlantic beach beneath the steep slopes of Croaghaun on Achill Island, reached by a dramatic coastal road.

Why visit in summer

A rewarding seasonal stop.

Long summer days allow time to combine the beach with Achill’s villages, viewpoints and shorter walks.

What to look for

  • Keem Bay viewpoint
  • Atlantic Drive
  • Deserted Village
  • Achill coastal walks

Plan it well
