If you’re passing through the city of Baltimore in County Cork, be sure to take a look at its harbour. The latter is not lacking in dynamism, and is a real landmark for yachting and marine gastronomy enthusiasts! A pleasant place to take a stroll, punctuated by the comings and goings of local boats. A moment charged with authenticity, smelling of iodine!
The Port of Baltimore is the economic heart of Baltimore City! The town is not only ultra-touristy, it’s also a veritable fishing stronghold! This is where Irish fishermen bring in their catch of the day, and sell it directly on the quayside to local residents and restaurants…
It’s a great bargain, with the certainty of super-fresh, tasty fish. Then all you have to do is cook it and try it out!
If you’d like to continue your stroll, you’ll find that Baltimore’s harbor is also home to sailboats and pleasure craft. Some are really worth a look! The harbor is generally quite charming: well-maintained, with a pretty green view over the harbor and the open sea.
Last but not least, there are a number of local restaurants in the harbour area offering the very best in seafood! Everything is, of course, fresh from the local waters, cooked according to the best Irish recipes! A lovely way to discover Baltimore’s identity, its relationship to the sea and to food. Prices vary but are generally affordable, and most establishments will offer you a meal with a lovely view of the sea: what more could you ask for?
