Take a quick pause from the vibrant mainland and relax on the shores of Long Island in County Cork.
Situated in Roaringwater Bay and only a 10-minute ferry away from the town of Schull, Long Island is 4.8km in length and only 0.8km in width which explains its name.
Once you've docked, enjoy a stroll on the stunning shingle beaches, get lost in the wild flora and observe the native fauna that call Long Island their home.
