Take a Sea Taxi in Ine
The best way to see the Ine bay is from the water where Sea Taxis depart regularly.
In the Ine bay, there are several small fishing boats that have been converted in to 'Sea Taxis' which were traditionally used by locals as a way to visit their neighbours. It's commonly mentioned that in Ine, more people have boating licenses than driving licenses!
The Sea taxis depart from the centre of town and take you on a 30 minute loop of the bay. It's a chance to see the village from a different perspective and start to understand the local lifestyle and its deep connection with the sea.
