The bridge at Portmagee does NOT open and hasn’t opened for many years. There is little prospect of it opening in the future.
There is a partially constructed marina at Knightstown within the harbour. This provides (free) berthing on the marina breakwaters at the time of writing in 2015.
There are also visitors moorings south of this marina but be aware that these are no longer maintained by the local authority (Kerry County Council) and there is little prospect of this policy changing.
Beware of SE gales as the Knightstown marina and local anchorages are quite exposed to the SE.
The leading light into the harbour past the Cromwell Point lighthouse has changed character a few years ago; see http://www.cil.ie/safety-navigation/notices-to-mariners/2010-16-aidangeovalentia-leading-light-(a6417).aspx. Also note that as of mid-2015 the Kay Rock mark in the northern harbour approach is missing.
