Killary Harbour

Killary Harbour extends 16 kilometers into the Irish coastline between County Galway and Mayo, reaching depths of 45 meters beneath the water surface.

During the 19th-century famine, local residents constructed the Green Road along the southern shore of Killary Harbour as part of a relief program.

The waters of Killary Harbour support traditional fishing practices and modern aquaculture, with numerous mussel farms operating throughout the eastern section.

Visitors can join boat tours from April through October, departing from Leenaun village to explore the length of the fjord and observe marine wildlife.

The Mweelrea mountain rises 814 meters above the northern shore while the Twelve Bens create a dramatic backdrop to the south of the waterway.
