Portmore Beach, located between the townlands of Surgeview (West) and Faulmore (East), is yet another of Mayo’s and Belmullet’s fine beaches. The beach features two access points – a slip pier on the Surgeview side and a cemetery car park in Faulmore. It offers great views across to Achill Island which are really impressive.
The beach itself is small and open. There isn’t a lot of shelter on a windy day. When we were there in April there was a brisk breeze and the water was a little choppy.
The Strong Currents sign is there for a reason so be careful and don’t ignore it.
Directions
From Belmullet you follow the R313 to the end of the road. Just before the lighthouse there is a right hand turn and along this road there is a left turn signposted for a holy well and the beach
