Stopped by Blacksod Lighthouse to find a lovely "Coffee Pod" has opened along side the pier. The hostess offered teas and coffee and basic snacks like chocolate bars, crisps and soft drinks which was a great surprise as there were no other shops in the area. We were also offered information on how to arrange a trip to Inis Gé and other local heritage sites like the derelict Deirbhile's chapel and a Napoleonic era signal tower in the area known locally as Glosh Tower.…

This place is beautiful but at the time we visited the weather was beautiful & the scenery was stunning.

The Inniskea islands are less than a 30 minute trip away & though they are now uninhabited, there are pristine beaches, ruins of the houses of previous residents, & historical sites & other interesting sites.

Whatever the weather, this is a delightful place to visit.…

The pier is a working pier with local boats unloading in the evening, I believe this is where the boats taking day trippers also depart. This area is well worth touring.…

We stayed in Belmullet for a wedding. While visiting the area, we had the opportunity to enjoy Blacksod Bay. The scenery is wonderful and the lighthouse made it even better. There are so many opportunities for amazing photographs, so many angles, and different vantage points to include the lighthouse. Sunrises and Sunset coloring accent the beauty. …
