"Coming in at number 11, ahead of the likes of Golden Beach in Cyprus and Italy's Tuerredda, is Keem Beach (also called Keem Bay) - a stunning, secluded beach located on the remote western tip of Achill Island in County Mayo. The beach is tucked into a sheltered horseshoe-shaped bay, surrounded by steep cliffs and rugged hills, leading onto a stretch of sand so golden and water so astonishingly turquoise, it's hard to believe you're in Ireland and not the Mediterranean."
"While the water can be chilly - and like any beach in Ireland, it's best visited during the warmer summer months - the beach still makes a wonderful place to relax during the day, before heading to the nearby villages of Doogort or Keel to enjoy some traditional Irish music and food in the evening. Other popular activities around Keem Bay include hiking (the trail to Annagh Head offers stunning views over the Atlantic) and water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding, thanks to the calm waters."
"Keem Beach is also famous for its role in the 2022 film The Banshees of Inisherin, starring Brendan Gleeson, Barry Keoghan and Colin Farrell, serving as a key filming location for the movie."
