Mulranny Beach is a sandy beach located southwest of Mulranny village in County Mayo. The beach consists of a long expansive stretch of sand, backed by pebbles and boulders. From Mulranny Beach there are glorious views across the sheltered waters of Clew Bay and the mountains beyond.

Mulranny Beach is approximately 30km from Westport, and is a popular beach for relaxing, swimming, walking, windsurfing and kayaking. Enjoy magical views across Clew Bay towards Clare Island. The machair sand plains and saltmarsh of Mulranny Beach are of scientific interest and the area is rich in flora, fauna and birdlife. Some of the more common birds that can be seen at the beach include, waders, terns and gulls.
