What to do in BallyCotton
Ballycotton gets its name from the Gaelic Baile Choitín, (Town of the Small Boats). The village is in East Cork about 40km from Cork City and is set on a rocky ledge overlooking Ballycotton Bay with its many sandy beaches.
Bridging the gap between the Wild Atlantic Way and Ireland’s Ancient East, Ballycotton is a real hidden gem along the jagged coastline of East Cork. With breath-taking scenery, a wonderful Cliff walk and a number of restaurants and pubs, cosy accommodation, exciting sea angling trips, this historic fishing village has something for everybody.
Ballycotton Lighthouse is one of the original Great Lighthouses of Ireland which are open to the public and Ballycotton Sea Adventures provides exclusive tours to the Lighthouse from April to October each year. It could be organized in English and also Polish language.
If you have already visited the lighthouse, you can try other activities eg. fishing. There are two types of fishing: one is a short tour for unexperienced people, we called it evening fishing tours and the second one is for experienced fishermen called Deep See Angling. These activities you can book online.
We also can offer tours to the Ghost Ship or perhaps whale watching and maybe even private charters for groups.
If you want to offer someone any of Ballycotton Sea Adventures Activities, you can buy a voucher and give it as a gift to your friends or family. Then the owner of the voucher has to call us and we will block the places paid with the voucher
