Introducing Clear Island

With its lonely inlets, pebbly beaches, gorse and heather-covered cliffs, Clear Island (Oileán Chléire; Cape Clear Island) is an escapist’s heaven.

It’s a place for quiet walks, hunting down standing stones and bird-watching.

Facilities are few, but there are a couple of B&Bs, one shop and three pubs.
