Cape Clear Hostel is based in Old Coastguard Station on West Cork’s Cape Clear Island. It’s a wonderful place to stay, stunningly situated in the South Harbour next to the beach. All of the bedrooms have great views of the harbour and the sweeping, majestic Atlantic Ocean beyond …
South Harbour is the tranquil heart of Cape Clear, and its an ideal base for those who hanker after peace & quiet and nature in the raw.
When you’re ready for a bit of hustle & bustle, the first of three pubs is just a five-minute walk away. Five minutes further on and you arrive in the North Harbour with its grocery shop, café & restaurant, tourist information centre, and sandy beach (perfect for young swimmers) and two more pubs. After a great day, and a good night’s sleep, it’s lovely to wake up to the sound of lapping waves as they shift pebbles on the beach outside.
