SCUBA

Scuba

The rocky coast of West Cork and Kerry is great for diving. There are many great locations, one of which is the deep, sheltered Killary Harbour and another surrounding the Skellig Islands. With visibility averaging 15m (49 ft.) to 29m (95 ft.) and many wrecks to explore, the west coast of Ireland may be cold, but it's a great place for divers. The best dives are from May to September and water temperatures are between 5 to 15 degrees Celsius.

Fishing

If you are a beginner or a keen angler Glenbeigh is the place for you.  Its unique location on the shores of the Atlantic, complimented by the surrounding rivers and lakes, should fit the needs for any angler’s preference.  Rossbeigh Strand can cater for all shore anglers be it beach-casting, spinning or saltwater fly fishing.
