Stroll along one of the many beaches, visit the Achill Experience-Aquarium, Keem Bay and the breath taking views of the Atlantic drive (Not for the faint hearted).
Relax and enjoy beautiful food as you watch the sun set.

Beneath the wild boglands of north Mayo lies a system of fields, dwelling areas and megalithic tombs which together make up the most extensive Stone Age monument in the world.
The stone-walled fields, extending over hundreds of hectares, are the oldest known globally, dating back almost 6,000 years. They are covered by a natural blanket bog with its own unique vegetation and wildlife.
The award-winning visitor centre is set against some of the most dramatic rock formations in Ireland. A viewing platform on the edge of the 110-metre-high cliff will help you make the most of the breathtaking scenery. Come prepared with protective clothing and sturdy footwear, though. The terrain – and the weather – can be challenging.

Golf
Carne Golf Links lies on the remote and rugged Mullet Peninsula, along the Wild Atlantic Way, in the North West of County Mayo, Ireland. An area renowned for its’ wild and ancient landscape.
Set in magnificent, unspoilt sand dunes stretching 150m above sea level, with breathtaking views of the Atlantic across Blacksod Bay and the legendary islands of Inis Glóire and Inis Géidhe. The course features eighteen amazing holes designed by the late Eddie Hackett, and true to his philosophy for respecting the natural landscape, the tees and greens occurred naturally and very little earth moving was involved in the course construction. Carne was the last course designed by Hackett and many say it is his most challenging. When Eddie was designing Carne he always said that the most dramatic part of the dunescape at Carne should be developed into another course. Sadly he did not live to see his vision realised. It was 2013 before a further nine holes were opened on land described by Eddie Hackett as the most dramatic part of the dunescape at Carne. The Kilmore Nine, designed by Jim Engh and Ally McIntosh, was developed in line with Hacketts’ ethos of respect for the natural landscape, and they integrate seamlessly with the original Hackett course.
The development of the new nine holes at Carne led to the creation of the Wild Atlantic Dunes course, which integrates the front nine holes of the Hackett 18 with the newer Kilmore Nine course It is arguably the most spectacular links course in Ireland, raw and untamed, with increased drama as the holes weave their way through the awe inspiring corners of the biggest dune system in the world.
The development of the Wild Atlantic Dunes course now gives us two courses at Carne – the original Hackett 18, and the newer Wild Atlantic Dunes 18 – the courses are in play on every second day, so stay overnight in Belmullet, and play both courses over two days. An experience not to be missed.
Carne offers traditional raw links golf at its very best in a truly unique and idyllic golfing location, an experience not to be missed.
