About Portmagee

This small fishing village on the Iveragh Peninsula sits right on the Ring of Kerry route (N70), making it a handy stop between Cahersiveen and Waterville. It's connected to Valentia Island by bridge and serves as the main departure point for boat trips to the Skellig Islands, where you'll find ancient monastic ruins that featured in the Star Wars films. The harbor buzzes with tour boats heading to this UNESCO World Heritage site seven miles offshore. There are about 4 EV charging points for those doing the Ring by electric car, and two top golf courses nearby at Skellig Bay and Waterville.
