Learn more about Sherkin Island

This tiny island paradise offers pristine beaches and scenic hiking trails where artists gather to capture coastal views. Catch the ferry from Baltimore to explore Silver Strand beach and the island's craft brewery before visiting historic Sherkin Abbey ruins.

Sherkin Island lies in the sheltered waters of Roaringwater Bay, west Cork. It is a relatively small island, no more than 5km by 3km, with a current population of approximately 100. There is easy access by ferry from Baltimore, a trip of about 15 minutes. The island offers a special experience for anyone with an interest in wildlife and the marine. It is one of the best places in Europe to observe the European Otter (Lutra lutra) - there are signs of them everywhere if you know what to look for. The island is also home to the independently run Sherkin Island Marine Station, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.
