Protected islands to discover on a hike

The Saltee Islands are still little-known to the public, but they are home to countless treasures! Accessible from Kilmore by shuttle bus, they will amaze you with their paradisiacal beaches, turquoise waters, colorful and luxuriant flora, as well as the diversity of their fauna!

The islands are truly protected reserves, with their grey seals and countless varieties of seabirds! In short, a true paradise for walkers, photographers and swimmers in search of perfect beaches! In fine weather, the two islands even take on a Mediterranean air!
