Place record
Narrow harbour strand below East Hill in Cobh
East Hill Strand is a narrow pebble and shingle shore below East Hill at the eastern edge of central Cobh, beside the Cork Harbour Pilots launch. Aerial imagery shows the strand continuing along the harbour below the road. Reviews for the nearby Bench with a View mention a steep path down to the pebble shore, while the benches themselves offer broad views across Cork Harbour. The strand narrows with the tide, and no lifeguard service or beach facilities were verified.
