Visit Clonakilty

There's always something on in Clon!


Celebrate the best of life with a visit to one of Ireland's best towns. Clonakilty is a multi-award winning, cosmopolitan and friendly seaside town at the heart of West Cork, in the South of Ireland on the world famous Wild Atlantic Way. Our town was recognised as the "Best Town in Europe" at the Urbanism Awards, "Best Place of the Year" by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland, and was named as one of the top 5 places to live in Ireland by the Irish Times. There are wonderful shops and boutiques, cosy café's and bars, and the choice of some of Cork's best beauty salons.
"There are 12 beaches within 12 miles, but community interaction is Clonakilty's strong point. It was the country's first 'fair-trade' town and first 'autism-friendly' town. The chamber of commerce was recently awarded 'cool community' status for its efforts at carbon reduction." - Irish Times
