The ferry leaves for both Sherkin and Cape Clear islands from Baltimore.

Pretty little village about 20 minutes from our home.
The hotel has a swimming pool and I think in peak season kayaks can be hired on the lake

One of the larger beaches in West Cork. I do not think it has a life guard on duty though. There is a lovely hotel here and you could enjoy a nice walk along the beach

Neighbourhoods
Tragumna is a small place that becomes very busy in summer season. When I grew up here there was a primary school here but it has since closed.
The Skibbereen Eagle pub is .5KM from our home.
There is no shop in Tragumna.
The beach is one of the few blue flag beaches in West Cork. I enjoy swimming around the island during the summer when we are home.
Many of the homes in Tragumna are holiday rental homes
