Inner Clew Bay is a vast, sheltered tidal bay on Ireland's west coast in County Mayo, renowned for its stunning and complex geography. The bay is famously said to contain 365 islands, creating a labyrinth of channels, sheltered coves, and intertidal areas. It is framed by dramatic landscapes including the Corraun Peninsula, the Nephin mountain range, and views of Croagh Patrick and Connemara. This intricate coastline of islands, mudflats, and deeper channels provides diverse habitats for a range of marine species, supporting both recreational angling and historic shellfish fisheries.
