The coastline at Baltimore is a mixture of ragged cliffs, rocky islands, caves and quiet coves. There is no better way to explore it at close range — and see some of its amazing wildlife — than from a kayak.

From the calm waters of countless sheltered inlets to the rugged shorelines of the Atlantic Ocean, kayakers get a unique close-up view of the West Cork coast. A moonlight paddle on the tranquil waters of Lough Hyne is a magical experience, while experienced kayakers might even make a trip around the Fastnet Rock with its famous lighthouse.
