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.

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.
