Annaghdown Pier sits on Annaghdown Bay, an inlet of Lough Corrib in County Galway, and serves as one of the primary access points to the lower section of the lake.

While Upper Corrib benefits from numerous public quays and slipways, access to Lower Corrib is more limited, making Annaghdown Pier one of just a handful of practical entry points to this part of the water, alongside Streamers Quay in Galway city.

The pier is well established as an angling base, with Annaghdown recognized as a noted centre where visiting anglers can arrange accommodation, boats, and boatmen.

The surrounding bay is known among fly fishers for its duckfly hatch, and the broader Lower Corrib area offers productive trolling in the early season.
