    It is worth the trip. Have a search of this forum and google things to do in Westport.
    It's not jammers with things to do but have a few things for visitors.

    Better pubs, cheaper hotels. Westport is a rip off and tourist trap in fairness

    For a weekend, it's Westport - no contest

    Agreed Achill in good weather is great, but not a lot there if weather is bad

    If you think OP should go somewhere else, feel free to promote it, but don't slag other towns.
    They all have lovely bottoms

    Biko, as this is a discussion board, surely we can discuss the suitability of various centres for holidays?

    Yes but the op is specifically asking about westport. Op westport will be hopping that weekend. Usually great live music in most of the bars, Matt molloys tends to get packed with tourists very early. During the day Ye could climb croagh Patrick, cycle along the Greenway or I know there's a new place that does paintballing
