About
Sightseeing cruises out of Westport Quay that wind for about ninety minutes through Clew Bay's drowned drumlin islands, said in legend to number 365, one for every day of the year. You pass seal colonies and get the classic view of Croagh Patrick over the water, with Clare Island out beyond. John Lennon once owned the tiny island of Dorinish out here.
