Head to Goleen village, 3 miles away to pick up daily provisions or enjoy lunch at one of the pubs, restaurants or cafes. The waters around Goleen are perfect for sailing and diving and there are a couple of sailing schools nearby. Take a dive into the unpolluted waters for excellent visibility for underwater activity.

Barleycove Beach is great for families with its Blue Flag Beach award, it's a popular spot for surfing and bodyboarding too. Head to Mizen Head and the coastal Dunmanus Bay drive during your stay, stopping off at Mizen Vision Centre at Ireland's most southerly point, the views are awesome! Drive out to Ballydehob, a colourful and vibrant village with some excellent restaurants including one with a Michelin star! Another favourite is the fishing hub of Schull with its bustling harbour, this is a lovely spot for relaxing and wandering around the craft shops and galleries.
