Lough Hyne

A Very Unique Salt Water Lake

Lough Hyne is a sea lough, about 5 km southwest of Skibbereen. It was designated as Ireland's first Marine Nature Reserve in 1981 and is a wonderful place to visit whether on holidays in West Cork, on your Staycation or for those living in West Cork that may not have discovered this gem yet.
