Located in the Beara Peninsula of County Cork, Glengarriff boasts of many natural attractions. Visitors can look forward to exploring Garnish Island, a famed nature and wildlife area, the Beara Way, a hiking trail famous for its scenic views, and Glengarriff Woods, an enchanting forest. More than being peppered with nature’s finest, though, what Glengarriff can boast about is how great of a destination it is for families. The stillness of the atmosphere in Glengarriff - it’s normal to witness men tending to their boats atop quiet waters - makes it an ideal place where you can whisk your family away for an easy, laid-back weekend. Aside from its natural wonders, guests can also enjoy a great stay at one of its wonderful Airbnb vacation rentals. Here’s our top 10:
