Dursey Island lies at the southwestern tip of the Beara Peninsula in the west of County Cork in Ireland. Dursey Island is 6.5 kilometres long and 1.5 kilometres wide. The island is separated from the mainland by a narrow stretch of water, Dursey Sound, which has a very strong tidal race, with the submerged Flag Rock close to the centre of the channel.
The island has just three or so permanent residents, and is connected to the mainland by Ireland's only cable car. The cable car system, which was closed for maintenance during 2022, was reopened in mid-2023 following replacement or refurbishment of its towers, tracks and related infrastructure.
Dursey has no shops, pubs or restaurants. At one point there was a post office on the island; this has since closed.
