THE ISLAND
The magic of Inishcoo Island
Inishcoo Island has many beautiful natural beaches. Near Beach, the closest to the house, stretches out to neighbouring Eighter Island at low tide: swimming, rock climbing, shrimping and gathering seashells are amongst the many things one can do.
On the opposite side of the island lies Bottom Beach, secluded within a beautiful bay of crystal clear water. This is the place for snorkelling, secluded swimming and sandcastles! Further on, Shipwreck Beach has deep rock pools, smooth pebbles and its own small shipwreck!
The island offers plenty of wonderful inland walks amongst giant boulders nestled in purple heather. Inishcoo cows and sheep graze peacefully and swim out to the neighbouring islands at low tide. There is a freshwater lake where birds come to fish, a bog dotted with wild orchids and a craggy shoreline on the eastern side of the island. Don’t forget to have a look at our island map before you head out to find your way around.
