If even the Wild Atlantic Way isn’t remote enough for you, turn west to the Mullet – a T-shaped peninsula pointing down into the Atlantic. On the sheltered eastern side, you have Ellie Beach. To the wild west, the roaring Atlantic.
The Spanish Armada and Norwegian Whalers found safe havens here, and the Mullet was also a departure point for emigrants to North America. Blue flag beaches and wild walking territory line the journey to the southern tip of the Mullet – which ends at Blacksod Harbour.
