It's impossible to get bored on Bere Island.

There are many possibilities to fish:

Or to walk, swim or sail.

You can enjoy a few pints at Dessie's, or have a great meal at "Kittie's" or in the new "Outlook"at the westside!

Or go and watch dolphins and whales. http://www.iwdg.ie

There are good walking trails for shorter and longer distances. The longest walk takes you around the island. You pass the lighthouse and remnants of English naval forts.

The shorter walks go through the villages and pastures.

There's plenty of history on Bere Island too: Martello towers, stone rings, the English naval base fortifications.

There are many websites with good information on Bere Island, such as:
