Schull is the nearest village to 'Shearwater', just a short trip down Mount
Gabriel and you are in one of THE villages of West Cork. Lively all the year
around it is particularly hectic at the height of the August yachting season when the pressure is really on. Out of that busy period there is plenty of time and space to enjoy the restaurants, bars and shops of the village. Beaches at Barley Cove are sandy and just a half an hour away, and there are small rocky coves all around the harbour area just down the road. Watersports predominate with canoeing, windsurfing, sailing, swimming and so forth. But 16kms away in either Bantry or Skibbereen there is golf. The local hotel has a pool and gymnasium. The archaeology society welcome visitors to their meetings and there is an outdoor activity organiser for energetic children.
