Cois Cuain is a gift shop, and the business has built its name around the range of items it keeps in stock. First-time visitors can expect a small, focused shop rather than a large retail floor, and the setting near Portmagee makes it a natural stop for anyone travelling the Ring of Kerry. A 5 out of 5 average from 9 reviews places it among the best-reviewed addresses of its kind in the area, though the sample is modest.
The shop's website, at http://www.coiscuaingifts.com/, carries its own information for anyone planning a stop. Valentia Lighthouse, Geokaun and Reenard are all within the island's immediate reach.
Valentia Island is reached by bridge at Portmagee or by ferry from Reenard, and summer brings the longest evenings and the busiest crossing timetable, while winter gales can cancel sailings. Currachs, wooden-framed boats covered in canvas or tar, are the traditional craft of Irish islanders, and grey seals, basking sharks in summer and seabirds such as puffins and gannets surround Irish islands. Early Christian monasteries and stone forts such as Dún Aonghasa survive on several Irish islands, adding to the sense of history that surrounds a visit here.
