Carrowteige Loop Walk Map
This walk follows the Carrowteige Beach Loop Walk in County Mayo.
The circular trail runs for about 6.5km and takes you to the picturesque cove at Carrowteige Beach. On the way there's some fabulous views of the rugged cliffs, Broadhaven Bay and the Atlantic Ocean in this beautiful remote part or Ireland.
The lonely Planet walking Guide described it as “The finest sustained coastal walk with a profusion of cliffs, crags, caves, chasms and islands along the remote North Mayo Coast”.
There are three other waymarked loop walks in the area with more details on the link below. The popular trails are more challenging and longer than this one. For example you could head north to Portacloy Beach and pick up the Portacloy Loop Cliff Walk.
