County Cork Ireland - West Cork
West Cork is no like other place in Ireland, no other place in the World, really.
The Gulf Stream brings a mild climate. This along with the variety of terrain; coastal cliffs, grassy fields, bogland,
wooded areas, rivers, lakes, etc.; gives West Cork the most interesting collection of native flora and fauna.
The Coast of County Cork Ireland, West Cork in particular, is dotted with harbours that are villages rich in history, culture and activity. West Cork has more harbours along the coast than any other part of Ireland. Castletownshend is a popular port for yachts travelling the World.
Whether you are looking for adventure activities or a bit of culture, West Cork caters for all tastes. Besides the cruises and charters provided by us, we can point you toward any type of water sport: sea kayaking, sailing, swimming, etc.
Local cultural activities include traditional and classical music festivals, horse racing, walking groups,
arts & crafts, reading & writing groups and more.
West Cork provides the best in dining and entertainment. The local restaurants make use of the
wonderful local produce: seafood, beef, vegetables, cheeses and more. Many pubs have music nightly in the Summer and on
weekend the rest of the year.
You can find accommodation in one of the many local B&Bs, guesthouses or hotels. There are also many choices for self catering accommodation if you prefer.
