About this site
Lough Hyne is a marine lake near Skibbereen on the south coast of County Cork, connected to the sea by a narrow tidal channel called the Rapids. It was Ireland's first designated marine nature reserve, protected since the 1980s for its unusual sheltered marine habitat. The site draws divers and snorkellers for its calm, enclosed water compared to the open Atlantic coast nearby.
