It also has a medium sized tourism industry in the summer, having several nearby beaches, namely Dunworly beach, and Murphy's Beach. There is also a hotel in the village, catering mainly for tourists from the city of Cork. There is also a caravan park, serving much the same purpose. Recently, several housing developments have been built, both in the meadow and out by the church. About half of these are lived in permanently, the other half being let out in the summer. There are several bars and pubs in and around the village, The Lifeboat being one of the most conspicous. Others include the Anchor, run by Billy, and The Pier House. There is a hotel bar, but this is mainly used by the younger patrons of the caravan park. The best pub in the whole area is undoubtly Mary O'Niell's pub, the Cardiff Hall, named after a ship that sunk of the coast near the village of Butlerstown.

Courtmacsherry is a small fishing village located on the Carbery coast of County Cork, roughly 16Km each from Bandon and Clonakilty and within easy reach of Kinsale and Cork city.
The adjacent Courtmacsherry Hotel is a restored Georgian mansion and has a fully licenced restaurant in house, which is as popular with locals as it is with guests.
Courtmacsherry Bay itself is famous for many species of wading birds, including oystercatchers, dunlins and herons and there are numerous woodland and beach walking trails around the hotel and cottages.
The picturesque village of Courtmacsherry is situated on the southern shore of Courtmacsherry Bay midway between the old head of Kinsale and the Seven Heads on the rugged West Cork coast.
The village of Courtmacsherry grew in Victorian times, as a haven for holidaymakers from the city of Cork and as a result several new houses were built.
Their cottages still dominate the slope overlooking the harbour, still a favourite haunt of anglers and visitors, because of the exceptional flora and fauna of the area.
