Beara Business & Social Directory 2010/2011 Castletownbere Festival of the Sea & Regatta 2010 Castletownbere, a town of about 1500 people and Ireland's leading whitefish port boasts possibly the finest natural harbour in Ireland. Nestling between the Caha and Slieve Miskish Mountains the town is sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean by Bere Island.
Located at the mouth to Bantry Bay, (the world’s second deepest bay) Castletownbere Harbour provides extensive piers with safe berthing for both commercial and pleasure craft. Being on the Gulf Stream the winters are very mild and rarely do temperatures drop to freezing.
The town, ancestral seat of Clan O'Sullivan Bere with Dunboy Castle within walking distance, (site of the last battle in Ireland between Elizabeth I and the Gaelic Chiefdoms) is the perfect base for both visitors and environmentalists alike to explore the unspoilt beauty of the Beara Peninsula's flora & fauna and the many antiquities it has to offer.
About us: -
The Castletown Community Development Association was formed in February 2008 as a response to a public meeting in the town. At the meeting the need was expressed for a group to be formed to promote and develop community spirit and business in the town.
The committee formed from that meeting have had a busy year. During 2008 we organised two festivals; June bank holiday and August week. We also provided at Christmas, new lights to decorate the town and Square's Xmass Tree. In September 2008 we took part in the La Rochelle International Exhibition promoting the town as a business and tourist location.
