Castletownbere (Baile Chaisleáin Bhéarra in Irish) is the principle town on the Beara peninsula in West Cork, on Berehaven harbour near the entrance to Bantry Bay. It is also known as Castletown Berehaven. The name of the town comes from the no longer existing MacCarty Castle. Berehaven is a safe anchorage for yachts and is ideal for watersports, from sea angling to windsurfing.

The area is ideal for outdoor activities with golfing, canoeing, hiking, biking and hill walking all available nearby.
