Center of the island

There are over 260 inhabitants on the island. Most of them live in the center of the island. Here you’ll find 3 Irish Pubs, a souvenir store, a hotel and a grocery store. A youth hostel and a campsite on a beautiful beach are also available for tourists…

Pubs are ideal for a stopover: they serve succulent meals for reasonable budgets, and the atmosphere in these establishments is quite remarkable. In fact, it’s not uncommon to eat in just for the excuse of listening to a few tunes played by a local band!

You’ll have no trouble striking up a conversation with the locals: they’re very welcoming and won’t hesitate to show you the best spots in Inisheer.

Many visitors come to Inisheer to take advantage of the island’s Irish Gaelic language courses. These courses are aimed at people of all levels wishing to learn or perfect their command of the language…
