Goleen Seaside Accommodation

Goleen is a little rural village on the end of the Mizen Peninsula on the south west coast of Ireland that is quietly becoming one of the favourite holiday spots for those who love un-spoilt nature and the outdoors. The village itself is very pretty and has plenty of pubs and shops without being over developed and the locals are warm and friendly. The best sandy beaches are those around Barley Cove, which are said to be some of the best beaches in Ireland. Surfers seem to love this beach and the peninsula is ideal for many other activities and water sports.

For the walkers there are breathtakingly scenic routes around Brow Head, Mizen Head and Three Castles Head, which takes in the soaring cliffs of Mizen Head. Other local attractions include the Maritime Museum and the fabulous Heritage Attraction. Here you’ll find a selection of self-catering holiday accommodation in Goleen near the beach, some enjoying sea views and easy access to the seafront.
