Castletownbere

Set in a large and dramatic harbour, Castletownbere is one of the largest white fishing ports in Ireland and is host to many European fleets. The town is full of restaurants and pubs with many specialising in fresh seafood. Sea angling trips or shore angling can easily be arranged. Golf is popular with a scenic, challenging course at the foot of the Caha mountains. Watersports such as canoeing, kayaking and dinghy sailing are available in the vicinity.

This is an excellent centre for the exploration of the south-western end of the Beara Peninsula. Nearby is Bere Island, and a visit to this island makes an interesting day trip, with its collection of old military ruins and fortifications as well as more ancient wedge tombs, standing stones and recent excavations of a 'naust' or Viking boathouse in Lonehort Harbour.Also nearby only a 30 minute drive is Allihies which has a great place to camp (or put your campervan) which has a very interesting copper mine system up in the mountains which is 100% accessible well worth a look. There is a copper mines museum in the village also.
