Kayakers celebrating on Cork Harbour with Funkytown

Fountainstown · Cork Harbour · Since 2010

Cork Harbour, uncovered.

Since 2010 we've been getting people off the beach and out onto Cork Harbour: into sea caves, off jump rocks, round the headlands and out to the harbour villages by kayak, paddleboard and RIB.

Then we built somewhere to come back to. A Finnish sauna and hot seaweed baths, right on the shoreline at Fountainstown.

No stuffy rules. No ordinary days. Just the sea, done properly.

The Sanctuary · Fountainstown

Wood heat, wild seaweed and the sea on the doorstep

Our sauna and seaweed bath sanctuary sits right on the water's edge. Book one, or treat yourself to both.

On the shoreline

Hot Tub Seaweed Baths

Wild bladderwrack seaweed and hot water in oak sherry barrels on the shoreline. One barrel each, looking straight out to sea.

On the water's edge

Finnish Sauna

A timber-fired Finnish sauna with real wood heat, open sea views and a cold plunge a few steps from the door.

Will I tell ya a secret?

Cork Harbour after dark

A few nights each summer, when the moon is full, we paddle out as the sun goes down and stay out as the moon comes up. Silver water, black cliffs, the lights of the harbour villages, and nobody else around.

Bucket list stuff, and most people have no idea it exists.

May to August · Over 18s · Some kayaking experience needed
