Brandon Bay is a large open bay on Ireland's west coast situated on the northern side of the Dingle peninsula and at the foot of Brandon Mountain. It offers an anchorage off a small village fronted by a stone pier. The bay offers good protection in moderate weather with offshore winds from west round to the south. Access is straightforward as the open bay has plenty of water and is clear of any danger except for some shoal patches that lie well out of the way off its southern shoreline.
