Westport : Profile

Location

Situated on the west coast of Ireland, Westport is a charming, planned town, built in the Georgian style and has an attractive walk alongside the river Carrow Beg. It is a major tourist destination because of its magnificent scenery.

Docking

This small port, Westport Quays, although once busy, is no longer used commercially. Westport Bay provides many sheltered anchorages whatever the weather but beware of the fish farms and shellfish beds.

Cruisers who need pilotage information can contact the Mayo Sailing Club or Glenans Irish Sailing Club. SSCA members can contact Alex Blackwell based in Westport and acting as the SSCA Cruising Station for Ireland.
