About
About this getaway
Sherkin North Shore is a centre for island living and island learning on Sherkin Island in West Cork, Ireland. Guests stay in comfortable ensuite rooms, pitch a tent, or book a couples or family bell tent with views over Roaringwater Bay, a Special Area of Conservation.
The property combines accommodation with on-site cafe and restaurant dining — breakfast for bed-and-breakfast guests, Cafe Bruno daytime fare in summer season, and evening meals overlooking the bay (advance booking required for non-B and B guests and evening dining). It is positioned as more than a bed for the night: a base for hiking, swimming, sailing, beaches, marine life, eco tours, workshops, and slower island days.
Travellers reach Sherkin by ferry from Baltimore, County Cork. Book direct on their site for current availability.
Sherkin North Shore sits on the northern shore of Sherkin Island overlooking Roaringwater Bay. The team frames the stay as an island experience — wake to sea views, explore sandy beaches within a short walk, watch wildlife in the bay, and settle into West Cork island rhythm with food and gathering space on site.
