Blacksod Bay
Blacksod Bay ((アイルランド語:Cuan an Fhóid Duibh)) is a bay of the Atlantic Ocean in Erris, North County Mayo, Ireland. The long and bay is bounded on its western side by the Mullet Peninsula. Its eastern side includes Kiltane Parish which extends southwards from Belmullet towards Gweesalia and Doohoma.
In June 1944, Supreme Allied commander Dwight Eisenhower made the decision to go ahead with the D-Day landings based on a detailed weather report from Blacksod Bay. Despite the official position of Irish neutrality, providing meteorological data on the Atlantic Ocean was just one of many things Ireland did to assist the Allies during the Second World War.〔See Duggan p.180 Duggan, John P.

==Geography==
Blacksod Bay, which contains many little islets, opens to the Atlantic Ocean. The granite found in this area as most of the rest of the substrate consists of ancient gneiss and schist. The Mullet peninsula is covered with fairly flat sand dunes. Blacksod Bay is wide at its mouth and is a safe place for anchorage.
At its north end, Blacksod Bay is connected to Broadhaven Bay by an 18th-century canal through Belmullet.
