Capel Island and
Knockadoon Head were legally protected as a national nature reserve by the Irish government in 1985. Most of the reserve, 314 acres (1.27 km), is owned by the state, with a small part in private ownership 40 acres (0.16 km). The reserve includes Capel Island, Knockadoon

A story is told of how the island got its name. There was a swimming race to reach the island for ownership. As one man was about to touch land the other reached forth his sword and pipped him at the post. A name associated with this story is De Capel
Brookes.
