About
A set of three signed canoe and kayak routes on Bantry Bay, launching from the Abbey Slipway in the town: short two and six kilometre loops and a longer nine kilometre route out towards Whiddy Island. A sheltered, low-key way to see the bay from the water without booking a boat trip.

Tips
- →Check tide times before setting out, as the bay's launch points are tidal.
- →Bring your own kayak or arrange hire in advance, as on-demand hire is not always available at the slipway.
