About Cape Clear Island
Cape Clear Island (Oilean Cleire) is a small inhabited island off the south-west tip of County Cork, at the outer edge of Roaringwater Bay. It is Ireland's southernmost inhabited island and a Gaeltacht community where Irish is widely spoken.
A narrow isthmus known as the Waist divides the island into east and west halves. North Harbour faces the mainland and holds the shops, pubs and boat landing; South Harbour opens toward the Atlantic. Day visitors come for cliff walks, seabirds and views toward Fastnet Rock. Check the ship schedule for upcoming calls.
- Climate
- Mild, wet maritime climate under strong Atlantic influence. On Ireland's Atlantic coasts, winters tend to be cool and windy and summers mostly mild and less windy, with frequent cloud and rain and without the temperature extremes found farther inland. This is general regional guidance for the Atlantic coast, not measurements on Cape Clear itself.
