Castletownbere

Large fishing port in western County Cork, Republic of Ireland, on the north side of Bantry Bay; population (2002) 1,000. It is also a tourist centre. Opposite the town is Bere Island. Castletownbere is the largest whitefish fishing port in Ireland. Its harbour, Berehaven, claims to be the second-largest, and safest, natural harbour in the world.

Castletownbere is the ancestral home of the O'Sullivan Beara clan, who owned the 15th-century Dunboy Castle, the ruins of which stand 3 km/2 mi from Castletownbere. The castle was destroyed in 1602, at the Battle of Dunboy, in a battle between the O'Sullivan Beara clan forces against an English force led by George Carew (1555–1629).
