Querrin, a charming coastal village nestled on the south side of the Loop Head Peninsula, awaits your exploration. With its quaint little pier and a creek that fills at high tide, protected by the intriguingly named "the island," Querrin offers a perfect getaway for adventure-seekers. As you wander along the shores, you'll discover a bar of land extending parallel to the coastline, offering a unique connection to the mainland. The handball alley, now a vibrant hub of racquetball enthusiasts during the summer months, will surely catch your eye. But the real excitement awaits at high tide when teenagers and adults alike gather to leap off the pier into the refreshing waters. However, be cautious of the strong currents that lurk in the center of the channel; it's always best to stick close to the pier and shore. And there's even more to discover in Querrin! Opposite Querrin National School, the Seol Sionna project takes place - a traditional boat building endeavor. Immerse yourself in this remarkable project as craftsmen work tirelessly to construct a 26-foot wooden sailing boat. Inspired by the magnificent "Shannon Hooker" that once graced these waters in the 18th and 19th centuries, it's a true testament to Querrin's rich maritime heritage.
