Lough Hyne

Highlight • Lake

Probably the best open-water swimming location in Ireland. Due to the very sheltered nature of this salt water lough it’s possible to swim here when sea conditions at local beaches are too rough. Popular with swimmers year round.

View of Lough Hyne from Knockomagh Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Cool down with a saltwater swim after your hike. Knockomagh overlooks Lough Hyne, arguably the best open water swimming spot in Ireland.
There are normally loads of swimmers in the Lough and many swim there every day of the year.
