Inchydoney or Inchydoney Island (from Irish Inse Duine)[1] (sometimes misspelled Inchadoney)[2] is a small island off West Cork, Ireland, connected to the mainland by two causeways. The nearest town is Clonakilty. It has a Blue Flag beach.[2]
It is a tourist destination with two beaches, one either side of the Virgin Mary headland. In summer there is a lifeguard station on the headland for three months.
