O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: A sprawling 10,000-hectare bay with 365 islands, one for every day of the year. Local legend claims each island was formed when a giant dropped a bag of rocks into the water.
Istaknuto: Dorinis Island has a working pub that gets its mail delivered by boat and has the same family running it since 1885. You can kayak across at low tide, grab a pint, and paddle back before the water rises again.
Insajderski savjeti
- Rent a bike from Westport and take the Great Western Greenway along the bay for sea views without any car traffic.
- Pack binoculars to spot seabird colonies on the smaller islands that are inaccessible by foot.
- Drive 10 minutes up Croagh Patrick at sunset for a panoramic view of the entire bay from above.
- Ask a local ferry operator about the islands that only appear during spring low tides, not all 365 are always visible.
