Mulroy Bay - is one of the most beautiful of all the bays around the Irish Coast. Along its shores tiny peninsulas run into the sea - some richly clad with fir and pine and gorse - protecting the snug little coves between. From the high ground magnificent views are obtained of the bay, with its numerous wooded islands and much-indented shores. The beauty and charm of County Donegal will cast its spell over you and draw irresistibly. Mulroy Bay (Irish: Cuan an Mhaoil Rua) is a relatively small bay / sea loch on the north coast of County Donegal, Ireland.
Mulroy Bay is the most convoluted of the marine inlets in north-west Ireland. It is approximately 12m long in a north-south direction. The entrance to the bay is a narrow embayment leading to a winding entrance channe; 10m in length. This channel varies in width and depth, with three significant narrows only 100-150m across, where the current reaches maxima of 3-5 knots. It opens into the Atlantic Ocean, an open shallow sea lough 8m from north to south and 2.5m from east to west, generally less than 20m in depth and with many small rocky islands and islets.
Settlements founded on the bay include Milford, Kerrykeel and Cranford.
