The East End Pier is serviced by the ferry that sails between Rerrin Village, on Bere Island and Pontoon Pier. The island is just 2kms offshore from the town of Castletownbere, the largest white fishing port in Ireland, and is roughly 11km x 5km in size, with a population of just over 200. The Slieve Miskish and Caha Mountain ranges of the Beara Peninsula provide a dramatic backdrop to the island.
