Things to see and do in and around Portmagee - the very concise version

"I'm bored", is a phrase you never hear around Portmagee simply because we're so close to a diverse range of activities from aqua sports to trekking, hiking, biking and horseriding to golfing, swimming, and, of course, diving for which the waters around our shores are justifiably renowned. That's not to say that you have to be active while you stay with us. Lounging around also perfectly acceptable holiday behaviour.
