An Chéibh Bheag (Cloghmore Pier)

An Chéibh Bheag, also known as Cloghmore Pier, sits on Achill Island in County Mayo, where the Atlantic coastline meets sheltered water. The pier serves as a small embarkation point, with boats coming and going and walkers drawn by the open views across the sea and surrounding hills.

It suits anyone with an interest in coastal nature and wildlife, from seabirds overhead to whatever the tide brings in. Bring a windproof jacket, as the weather here can turn quickly, and allow time simply to stand and take in the setting.
