Baltimore sea angling centre

Baltimore is the sea angling centre on the very southern tip of Ireland, the nearest place in Europe to the Gulf Stream, which gives rise to a mild climate and some unique sea angling. The sheltered natural harbour opens directly into deep water and there is good angling within a few minutes of passing the Beacon at the harbour's mouth (itself a useful shore angling mark). Offshore, two world wars have left the sea bed dotted with wrecks. Inshore, the shelter of numerous islands means you are less likely to lose valuable fishing time because of bad weather.

Though only a village, Baltimore has pubs and restaurants to suit every taste. Several of them are clustered round the village square which overlooks the harbour. Relax here with a drink after the day's fishing and enjoy the view across sea and islands towards Mizen Head, the 'Land's End' of Ireland.

For any non-fishing members of the party there is golf, sailing, diving, canoeing, horse riding, whale and bird watching, ferry trips (to the enchanting islands of Sherkin, Cape Clear and Heir), uncrowded beaches and miles of unspoilt coastline. The friendly atmosphere and relaxed pace of life makes Baltimore the perfect antidote to the pressures of modern life. The only problem is you may not want to leave!
