Top 10 Things To Do

Sail Away

Beautiful beaches are dotted along the coastline, including Inchydoney and Roaring Water Bay.

A trip out to Cape Clear or Garnish Island is a memorable one, the latter home to a large population of seals and sea birds.

Sailing trips, or indeed a spot of shark-fishing, can be arranged from Kinsale.
