Oysterhaven, Co. Cork

Oysterhaven is a sea-inlet on the coast of County Cork, Ireland; it is the inlet immediately to the east of Kinsale harbour. It is a quiet sheltered haven that is popular with windsurfers.

These days, Oysterhaven is a peaceful community mainly consisting of retired Irisk folk and large holiday homes belonging to rich people. New developments, including new hotels, has caused some to fear that it will take from the area's natural beauty.
