Maxol
About
Maxol serves Valentia Island from Garranebane, Cahersiveen, Co. Kerry, Ireland, on the approach road that carries traffic towards the bridge and the island itself. Drivers give it 4 out of 5 from 8 reviews, a modest tally that reflects its role as a working stop rather than a destination. Reaching it from Knightstown, Chapeltown or Reenard is straightforward along the island and mainland roads, and the Valentia Lighthouse and Geokaun sit beyond it for those continuing on. The forecourt handles fuel for cars, vans and the vehicles that cross to the island, and it is the kind of stop made on the way through rather than planned around. Summer brings long evenings and the busiest ferry timetable, while winter gales often cancel sailings, so a fill-up before a crossing is part of the routine here. Grey seals, basking sharks in summer and seabirds such as puffins and gannets surround Irish islands, and the coast road passes several vantage points. Seafood dominates island food: crab, lobster, mussels and oysters landed by small inshore boats, which is why the harbour towns stay busy through the season.
