Adrigole: Waters, Wildlife,
Hikes, Culture, Bliss
Adrigole is a brilliant location for an adventure holiday on the beautiful waters of Bantry Bay and all her bays, islands and wildlife to enjoy, and the back drop of the Beara Peninsula and Caha mountain ridge in the north, with Sheeps Head on the South. When you are not sailing or kayaking there is plenty of hiking, cafes, galleries and crafts to explore.
Gems: Food, Drink,
Exploration, Inspiration
We have a few favourite spots, like Helen’s Bar in Killmacalogue for mussels and chips, Wild Atantic Bar, Adrigole for a good pint and great meal, Hungry Hill Lodge for camping, caravanning and hostel, The Tea Rooms in Castletownbere serve amazing cakes !!, Casey’s Hotel in Glengarriff provide great meals, a good pint and you can guarantee some fun with the big boss, the Sarah Walker Gallery in Castletownbere will inspire the budding artist in you.
Beara’s Trails: Adventure,
Nature, Discoveries Await
Hike the Beara Way to Glengarriff and take the 232 bus back again, cycle the Glen Lough Loop (11km) in Adrigole, zig zag your way up the Healy Pass from Adrigole, Co Cork to Lauragh, Co Kerry and explore the Dereen Gardens. Zetland Beach is a local favourate and some like to think it is a hidden secret – our only tiny white sandy beach . There is so much more to explore and experience. If you are coming to explore then we HIGHLY recommend buying the Ordinance Survey maps 84 and 85, so you can have some great adventures discovering all the piers, boreens, pathways and beaches.
