Keem Bay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Keem Bay (Irish: Cuan na Cuime) is located past Dooagh village in the west of Achill Island in County Mayo, Ireland. It contains a Blue Flag beach.[1] The bay was formerly the site of a basking shark fishery.[2] There is an old British army lookout post on the top of Moyteoge to the bay's south. To the west is an old booley village, at Bunown. To the north stands Croaghaun, with Europe's second-highest cliffs. The road leading to Keem Bay is high with steep cliffs.
