Try down the rocky outcrop on the way up to keem bay. Usually throws up some nice pollack wrasse coalies and mackerel. Its fairly handy fishing with good deep water. Its known as the EIRE rocks. The rocks at the back of purteen harbour can be good too I had some nice gurnard and pollack the last august and caught my 1st octopus there too!!

chris you will get ray from a beach called durgot (not sure on spelling) also keem bay plus some small turbot there aswell but your best chance of a turbot is keel beach down the far end near the mountian also a chance of a bass from there
