Dursey Island

Category: Outdoor Attractions

Lies at the south-western tip of the Beara Peninsula. The island is separated from the mainland by a narrow stretch of water called Dursey Sound which has a very strong tidal race. This peaceful island is connected to the mainland by Ireland's only cable car, and the only cable car which goes over water in Europe spanning the sound that is one of its main attractions.
Activities on the island: Bird, whale and dolphin watching.
