Cork is Ireland's Gateway to Europe's finest maritime-inspired stories and adventures. Its mesmerising landscape and 1100 km coastline deliver an unforgettable journey. For a region with such a connection to the sea it is no surprise that Cork and especially West Cork possesses some of Ireland’s most impressive and attractive beaches. Here you can while away the day lounging on the golden sand when the weather allows it, or you can a bit more adventurous and grab a surfboard, paddleboard or wakeboard to take advantage of the waves rolling in from the Atlantic Ocean.
