Portmagee Harbour is the beating heart of the small fishing village of Portmagee. The colourful row of houses along the water, the bobbing boats, and the view of the bridge to Valentia Island give the harbour a charming, almost postcard-like atmosphere. In the early morning, boats depart from here towards the Skellig Islands; later in the day, calm returns and the light of the bay reflects in the still water.

Known locally as 'The Ferry', due to being the gateway to Valentia Island, Portmagee was named after a smuggler from the 18th century, Captain Theobald Magee. Brightly coloured houses line the harbour and from here you can also visit the Skellig Islands. There are a few cafes on the waterfront if you are looking for something to eat or drink.

Lovely place, especially at sunset. Excursions to the Skelligs Islands leave from the port, an experience not to be missed
