Significant progress is being made on the new state‑of‑the‑art beach facilities currently under construction at Keel and Carrowmore in Co. Mayo. Mayo County Council has confirmed that both projects remain on schedule, with completion expected ahead of the 2026 summer season.

Once open, the facilities will offer an enhanced experience for beach users, sea swimmers, and watersports enthusiasts. Each site will feature modern amenities including hot showers, Changing Places facilities, secure lockers, toilets, and upgraded changing areas. Designed to support year‑round activity, these developments aim to provide comfort, accessibility, and convenience for both residents and visitors enjoying Mayo’s spectacular coastline.

Funded by Fáilte Ireland and delivered by Mayo County Council, the Keel and Carrowmore upgrades are identified as catalyst projects within the Clew Bay Destination and Experience Development Plan. Their delivery represents a major step forward in strengthening the visitor experience along the Clew Bay area and the wider Mayo coast.

The projects also strongly align with the Wild Atlantic Way Regional Tourism Development Strategy, which places emphasis on improving infrastructure, enhancing accessibility, and supporting sustainable outdoor recreation. By investing in high‑quality facilities that enable more people to safely enjoy the water, Mayo is reinforcing its position as a leading destination for adventure, wellbeing, and nature‑based tourism.

Together, these new amenities mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter for coastal recreation in Mayo - one that celebrates community, encourages active lifestyles, and enriches the world‑class experiences that define the Wild Atlantic Way.
