About Clew Bay Lighthouses Lighthouse
Clew Bay Lighthouse is a white, cylindrical masonry tower constructed in 1827 on a small island in Clew Bay, County Mayo, Ireland. Standing 8 meters tall with a focal height of 11 meters, it emits a long white flash every 10 seconds and has a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles. The structure features a lantern and gallery. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself remains closed to the public. There is some historical confusion regarding its exact construction year, with alternative sources suggesting an earlier date.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels into Westport harbor, marking the approach for ships navigating Clew Bay.
