Portmagee
An Caladh
A colorful fishing village at the western tip of the Iveragh Peninsula. It is the main departure port for the Skelligs and connects by bridge to Valentia Island.
Portmagee is a small fishing village facing the sound, with a row of colorful houses lining the quay. Most boats to the Skellig Islands depart from here, and the Star Wars crew stayed in the village during filming. The bars and seafood restaurants by the harbor are popular, and their signature dishes are crab and fish caught that day. The village is linked by a bridge to Valentia Island and is about 3 km from Kerry Cliffs. Boat tickets and accommodation in summer must be booked well in advance.
