Annalong is a small coastal ward and village on the shores of County Down within the Newry, Mourne and Down district of Northern Ireland, tucked at the mouth of the Annalong River where the sea meets the lower slopes of the Mourne Mountains. The compact harbour, promenade and pebble beach give it a distinctly maritime character and scenic outlook across the Irish Sea.
Traditionally rooted in fishing and seafaring, the local economy now mixes small-scale maritime activity with tourism and commuter links to nearby towns; the area is a popular base for hill-walkers and reservoir visitors heading to the Silent Valley and the Mournes. The community preserves strong local traditions and a sense of place shaped by coastal and mountain landscapes, making it notable for both outdoor recreation and quiet village life.
