If you fancy exploring more of East Cork while in Youghal, take a 30-minute drive to neighbouring Ballycotton, a small, picturesque fishing village perched on a rocky ledge overlooking Ballycotton Bay. Once there, you will not be short of options.

Go on an 8 km Cliff Walk from the village to Ballyandreen Beach. Along this foot-worn track, you’ll be dazzled by the scenery, flanked by the greenest meadows on one side and the ocean on the other.

Or, take a tour with Ballycotton Sea Adventures to Ballycotton Lighthouse, which sits on the very natural and unspoiled Ballycotton Island. Enjoy an intriguing lighthouse tour and stunning views over East Cork.
