keem bay

A beautiful breathtaking area. A wonderful beach tucked away in a cove, surrounded by superb mountains. You are exposed to amazing views with constantly changing colours and so peaceful!

The last time I was in Keem the sun shone bright and it was the most stunning beach. People say when the sun shines you feel like you could be anywhere in the world on this beach but I disagree. Just look around, how green the land is, the windy Irish road descending on the beach, the sheep you dodged on the way down, the old cottage and then you have the blue waters and soft sand. It is the whole picture and all its Irish characteristics that make this beach my favourite.

It has to be one the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is a must see if you are on the west Coast.

Keen bay is beautiful it feels like you are on the edge of the world and the remote spot is so private

This is a beautiful little beach with a stunning and kinda scary drive to get to it. When the sun shines you could be in any of the exotic beaches in the world. Fine, pale sand that continues out into the sea. If you go to the west of Ireland and have the time, the view onto the beach is well worth the trip.

Keem bay is a must visit if you are in the Achill Island area. It is not just a beautiful, sheltered beach, but great snorkelling area and sensational walks on the hills surrounding the bay.Highly recommended.

ive been to keem beach a few times, summer and winter. Ive visited Achill for New Years for a week and started every morning with a walk on keem beach with my dogs then stopped at gieltys bar and restaurant for breakfast which is a really good cooked breakfast! And highly recommend.

It was a beautiful (albeit crazy) drive, and well worth it to see just how beautiful this area is! Definitely coming back again!

Keem beach is well worth the trip up over the mountain to the end of the road. You are greeted by a stunning yellow sand beach with stunning views out over Clew bay. It was almost deserted when we were there and we got to enjoy the beach and scenery to ourselves. There is a stream flowing in through the beach and the bridge over it adds character to the area. Stop on the way to the bay to get a birds eye view from up the mountain and take it all in.

One of the nicest bays on the west coast.my first time in achill island I would definitely recommend the island and the bay for a weekend now.

Keem Bay is a definite " must see " for any visitor to Achill Island. The views on the drive to the bay are out of this world and the beach is lovely, usually pretty deserted and very clean. There are plenty of places to have a picnic but make sure to bring your own food as there are no shops or cafes here. A stay on Achill Island would not be complete without a visit here.

Hidden away but not to far from civilisation lies Keem Beach. Nestled between cliffs it's views are serene.Descending to the beach you will be captured by striking scenery so make sure and bring your camera. If you like a late evening swim, this is when the beach is at it's most haunting but also when the solace will surprise you. It's nothing like you will expect. Especially of a beach in Ireland. A must to see. I can't wait to get back.

The weather was particularly changeable on the morning we visited Keem Bay and while it seemed like the rest of the Island was covered by dark clouds. Keem Bay was drenched in hot sunshine, it felt like Summer again. Keem Bay is a beautiful peaceful bay. We didn't avail of watersports, we walked the beach, climbed rocks, enjoyed the view of the Atlantic ocean, the rugged coastline, the gorgeous little arch bridge with the stream running under it and into ocean, we were surrounded by mountains. Being nature lovers we were stunned into a peaceful silence as we admired the absolute beauty of Keem Bay. I was reminded of the respect nature deserves on my visit to Keem Bay. Unspoilt, uncommercial besides a mobile van where we got coffee and snacks. An absolute, and quite literally, breath of fresh Atlantic air. Watch out for the beautiful wild flowers. Bring appropriate clothes and footwear - rain jacket, hat, footwear with grips and a back pack and water. You may be tempted to climb a mountain which overlook the bay so best to be prepared rather than disappointed. August 2014

The best beach on Achill island. Fantastic views on ascending the cliff, and awe strikingly beautiful views on the descent down to the bay. Something that you'd expect in a Mediterranean clime, not Ireland

A bit of a struggle on a bike but well worth it for the scenery. Toilets could be nearer the beach. Lots to do with kayaking, snorkling, swimming and climbing.Worth bringing a wind breaker and a flask of coffee as there is little in the way of amenities but you won't want to leave.
