Great deserted Island with wild goats - do not anchor if swell forcasts are over 1.5 meters as they will wrap around and make it rolly - to land the dinghy safely look for the sand spit and find the rocks that are between the westernmost hill and the central hill - you will see some rocks - these rocks ( on the sand spit ) are your marker - guide the dinghy just to the left of these rocks - for a smooth rising beach - the main island has a very steep beach and some experienced cruisers and mariners have flipped their dinghies !
Most convenient anchorage for access to the mainland and Westport from Clew Bay. Mayo Sailing Club is only open when there is racing and or instruction. When open, it has a bar and wifi. The pontoon is for short term tie up only. Taxi service is available to Westport town which is a great holiday destination. The MSC mooring field consists of trots. There is a great deal of gear in the anchorage from which Adventure Islands operates. Take care to avoid obstructions.
