Cycling
While the sheep graze on the surrounding hillsides, you stand here on the threshold of Killary Fjord. From the quay, you have a wonderful widescreen perspective of where the salt water cuts deep into the land, flanked by the impressive peaks of Mayo. It is the ideal place to put your bike aside for a moment, breathe in the salty air, and observe the activity at the small pier with the mighty Ben Gorm as a backdrop.

Hiking
On the shore of Killary Harbour sits Leenaun. A popular calling point for tourists looking for adventure by foot, bike or by water. Especially stunning in autumn in its golden and burnt orange colours. There are cafes, bars and accommodation here. It is also home to the Sheep and Wool Heritage Centre. A more scenic waterfront car park you may never find!
