description Achill Head Cliffs Overview
Achill Head Cliffs are part of the rocky promontory at the western end of Achill Island in County Mayo, Ireland. The headland is formed from metamorphic rocks including schist, gneiss, and quartzite, and its northwest coast has high cliffs that descend to the Atlantic. Two sea stacks, Gaoí Saggart and Carrickakin, lie at the end of the promontory near Keem Bay. The area also includes protected marine habitats, so it is relevant to visitors studying Irish coastal geology, cliffs, and near-shore ecology.
