Mountshannon and Cloonoolia Bays
3.3 km one way – 1 hr 10 min one way
A section of this trail is possible for guided beginner paddlers, depending on their ability and fitness. Suitable also for self-led intermediate paddlers
Start from the harbour or beach and head left (east) toward two nearby, sheltered bays. The first bay is 500m away, featuring a private marina on its northern shore.
Continue across the bay to the tree-lined Dooros Point (800m), which leads around to Mountshannon campsite and harbour—marking the entrance to the wider Cloonoolia Bay.
Possible egress points include the small harbour (3.3 km) and Coolcam Point. A peaceful paddle with lovely scenery and plenty of stopping options!
