Kinsale

Kinsale is one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Ireland. It is located around 25 kilometers south of Cork City on the southeast coast near the Old Head of Kinsale, at the mouth of the River Bandon, and has a population of 5,281 people, which grows in the summer when tourism is at its highest. Kinsale is a popular tourist site for both Irish and international visitors.

This charming village offers winding alleys packed with gift stores and galleries, pubs and restaurants, and a natural port frequented by sailboats. This historic port and fishing hamlet is only 20 minutes from the Old Head of Kinsale, the southern terminus of the Wild Atlantic Way. There are many destinations to visit in Kinsale, including exploring Charles Fort, a 17th-century stronghold structured like a star.

If you want to swim in the Irish seas, check out Garretstown and Garrylucas, which are both close to Kinsale. Ballinspittle is the next village over from Kinsale, and you can travel there and then go for a walk in Garrettstown Woods. All of the water-based activities at the Oysterhaven Centre, which is tucked away in its own protected little bay great for lessons on windsurfing, sailing, and kayaking, or just hiring the equipment and getting to the water, are fun for the whole family.
