Deep Sea Angling Festival in West Cork

Being based in the heart of the region, comes with its many advantages for our hotel in West Cork, one of which is the access to the many great scenic and happening towns and villages of the surrounding areas. After all the action that has been happening in the Bantry and Sheeps Head regions to the west of us, the action now turns to the immediate southeast and to the beautiful waters and coastline of neighbouring seafaring village Baltimore, just a few minutes’ drive from us here at the West Cork Hotel. There anglers both professional and amateur can look forward to some great sea angling as the coastal village hosts its annual Deep Sea Angling Festival, running from Thursday 23rd – Saturday 26th August.

Over the 3 day festival expect to see friendly competition in the coastal waters with the winners announced at special prize winning ceremonies within different pubs of the village every evening. With many different categories of competition and conservation and sportsmanship high on the list, it looks to be an easy going and fun competition in scenic surroundings. And whether you are an angler or just a visitor to this beautiful scenic area and looking for things to do in West Cork, throughout the few days there will be a lively and welcoming atmosphere around the village. With 3 days of competition out in the sea and a warm reception inland these upcoming days offer the perfect excuse to be heading down to Baltimore and West Cork.
