Sherkin Island Ferry

The Sherkin Island Ferry provides the sea link between the West Cork mainland and Sherkin Island, carrying visitors across the short stretch of water to the island. As a transport service, it is the practical starting point for a day exploring Sherkin’s beaches, wildlife and walking trails. The crossing itself is part of the pleasure, offering views over the harbour and coastline of this part of County Cork. Travellers should check sailing times in advance to plan their visit to the island.
