The Killala Bay ( Irish : Cuan Chill Ala ) is a funnel-shaped bay in the northwest of Ireland .

Killala Bay stretches between the Irish counties of Sligo on its eastern and Mayo on its western side and is the mouth of the River Moy in the Atlantic Ocean . On the western coast of the bay in Mayo is the town of Killala , and at the top of the deep funnel is the town of Ballina . Due to its proximity to the deep waters of the continental shelf , Killala Bay is considered an excellent fishing ground.
