– Dursey Island Cable Car : Spanning Dursey Sound, the aerial tramway is Ireland’s only cable car and one of the few cable cars that cross the sea in Europe.
– The island is popular with day-trippers and walkers during the summer months. A waymarked section of the Beara Way loops around the island.
Dursey Sound is also one of the “signature discovery points” along the Wild Atlantic Way, a coastal touring route that stretches along Ireland’s Atlantic coastline.
On the island’s most westerly hill sits the 200-year-old Signal Tower, which boasts commanding views north to the Skellig Islands and south to Mizen Head.
– Dursey is an excellent place for viewing wildlife, as a variety of birds can be seen here, including rare species from Siberia and America. Dolphins and whales can also frequently be spotted in the waters surrounding the island.
