Inis Bó Finne, The Island
Inis Bó Finne is a place apart. Beaches, birdlife, ancient ruins and the silence of the open Atlantic. Very few people live here year-round, but those who visit don't forget it.
The east beach at Tobar an Ghlasáin is a must, peaceful, tranquil and stunning, with views out to Inis Dumhaigh, Tory Island and the Seven Sisters.

A Chroí Ró-Naofa Íosa, molaimid Thú, Le láidreacht ár n-intinne 's le haoibhneas ár gcroí: Go moch ag ár n-obair 's go mall ag ár só, A Chroí dhílis mhilis, ná scar linn go deo. Nuair a bhíos muid ar siúl ar an tsáile anonn Ag cosnú ár mbeatha ar bharraibh na dtonn, Bí againn i gcónaí a' tabhairt dúinn uchtach láidir, 'S ag cur rath ar ár n-obair, mar rinne tú le Peadar. Inár n-aistir go minic go beannaibh an Chorráin Is ó sin amach siar go hoileán fiáin Thoraigh As gach contúirt go bhfaighe muid amach go tír mór – A Chroí Naofa Íosa, tar chugainn le cabhair. Ar ár dteaghlaigh 's ár dtithe cuir séan agus sonas, Agus réitigh dúinn fhéin as gach buaireamh is pionós Is isteach i do ríocht, a Dhia mhór na cruinne, Tabhair sean agus óg in Inis Bó Finne.
A Prayer for the People of Inishboffin
O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we praise Thee, with all the strength of our minds, and the joy of our hearts, Early at our labour and late at our leisure, O Faithful and Sweet Heart, do not part from us ever. Whilst away sailing the great seas, Defending our lives on the crest of the waves, Be with us always, giving us strength and courage, prospering our work, as you did for St. Peter. Oft on our sea voyages as far as Horn Head, And from there, westerly to the wild Island of Tory, From all dangers deliver us, until we reach dry land, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, come to our aid. Bless our families and homes, with success and happiness, And deliver us from all trials and tribulations, And into Your kingdom, O great God of the Universe, Bring the elderly and youth of Inis Bó Finne.
