Crosshaven is a picturesque, traditional village nestled at the western entrance of Cork Harbour and situated at the mouth of the Owenabue River. One’s first impression of Crosshaven is a memorable vista of yachts at the harbour.
Crosshaven is a major international sailing centre and a favourite summer resort for Cork residents since Victorian times, offering all the popular entertainments of a seaside resort.
