Baltmore Marina
Baltimore sits about seven miles southwest of Skibbereen, a small but seriously lively port that punches well above its weight — fishing boats, ferry runs out to Sherkin and Cape Clear islands, and a steady stream of cruising yachts all share the same busy waterfront. The setting is classic West Cork, with sheltered waters that make it a natural waypoint whether you're crossing the Atlantic or just island-hopping along the coast. Ashore, the village has pubs, seafood, and that particular end-of-the-road atmosphere that makes it hard to leave.
