From €950 per person
Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall with a name card, or picks you up from your Dublin city location, and takes you all the way to Inchydoney Island and Clonakilty in West Cork. The vehicle is a Mercedes-Benz V Class Executive MPV, roomy enough for up to 6 passengers with luggage - so if you’re travelling as a family or a group, everyone travels together comfortably.
Your flight is tracked electronically so the timing adjusts to your actual arrival, and you get one complimentary hour of waiting time at the airport. The vehicle and chauffeur are fully licensed and insured under the Irish Government Transport Authority. All fees and taxes are included in the price.
This is a private transfer, available in English. Infant and specialist child seats are available. Infants and small children can also travel in a pram or stroller. Public transport options exist nearby, though this transfer is designed for stress-free, door-to-door travel. Suitable for all fitness levels.
Inchydoney Beach is one of the finest beaches in Ireland. There are two strands separated by a narrow headland, both sandy and clean, and the Atlantic swell makes it one of the better surf spots along the south coast. The Inchydoney Island Lodge and Spa overlooks both beaches and is a landmark in itself - even if you’re not staying there, the views from the headland road are worth a moment.
Clonakilty town is about three kilometres from the beach and well worth a wander. It’s a lively West Cork market town with a good independent food scene - the Lettercollum Kitchen on Connolly Street has been popular for years, and the O’Donovan’s butchers on Pearse Street is famous for its black pudding, a local product that’s travelled well beyond the county borders.
The wider West Cork coastline rewards a few extra days if your schedule allows. Skibbereen to the west has a regular farmers’ market and a strong arts scene, and the drive around the Mizen Peninsula takes you to Mizen Head, the most south-westerly point in Ireland. Baltimore, about 30 minutes from Clonakilty, has a ferry to Sherkin Island and is a beautiful spot on a calm evening.
The drive from Dublin to Clonakilty takes roughly three to four hours depending on traffic. The route goes south through Cork city and then west along the N71. If you’re arriving with the afternoon ahead of you, the timing works well for an evening walk on Inchydoney Beach before dinner.
