Welcome to this beautiful part of Crosshaven offering spectacular views of many ships and Roches Point lighthouse. Both spectacular on a calm and windy day whether the tide is in or out
It is a rocky beach with sandy spots when the tide is out
Recently efforts are being made to clear the path along the cliff joining Church Bay to Graball bay and a number of seating areas are provided which makes a beautiful walk.
nearby is a memorial plaque to the titanic and Lusitania
From this part of the walk you can now see Fort Davis, Fort Davis (irish: Dún an Dáibhisigh;[ previously Fort Carlisle), is a coadtal defence fortification close to Whitegate Ireland. Together with similar structures at Fort Mitchell (Spike Island), Fort Camden (Crosshaven), and Templebreedy Battery (also close to Crosshaven), the fort was built to defend the mouth of Cork Harbour. Though used as a fortification from the early 17th century, the current structures of the 74-acre site date primarily from the 1860s.[ Originally named Fort Carlisle and operated by the Brithish , the fort was handed-over to the Irish Defence Forces in 1938, and renamed Fort Davis. The facility is owned by the Department of Defence and is used as a military training site with no public access
