Annalong (in Irish: Áth na Long , ie ford of the ships) is a picturesque seaside village in County Down, Northern Ireland situated at the foot of the Mourne Mountains. It had a population of 1,778 people at the 2001 Census and lies within the Newry and Mourne District Council area.
Annalong Main Street is where most of the shops are situated such as the small local branch of 'Holmes' and what used to be 'Spar' is now named 'The Village Store'. There is also a pub at the very bottom of the main street named the 'Harbour Bar' as it is right beside the harbour; it was recently burnt down but has been rebuilt with a sort of 'Western' theme. There are many old cottages and houses in the harbour area but new estates have been built on the outskirts of the town.
The village was once engaged in exporting dressed granite and is now a fishing and holiday resort. Annalong Primary School is in the village and Annalong Community Development Association was establsihed in 1994. Annalong Presbyterian Church is situated on the main Newcastle to Kilkeel road. It was established in 1840 and the Meeting House was ready for use by 1842.
