Ireland
Introduction: Hare (or Heir) Island is one of Carbery's Hundred Isles that lie scattered throughout Roaringwater Bay. The island is beautifully located, surrounded by a panorama of Sherkin Island, Cape Clear, the Calf Islands, the East and West Skeams and Mount Gabriel to the North.
The island is accessible from Cunnamore Pier on the mainland and also from coastal cruises departing Schull and Baltimore villages.
The Island is low lying with attractive pastures and small pockets of cultivation. It has an extensive marsh dominated by a reed bed in the centre of the island. All parts are accessible on foot or bicycle and there are excellent sandy beaches where one can find that elusive combination on a hot summers day, a wonderful beach with peace and quiet thrown in!
Heir Island is also home to many well known artists, who were drawn to the island
because of its breathtaking landscape and peaceful atmosphere.
