Three-bed bungalow overlooks West Cork ‘lagoon’

LAGOONS don’t normally feature on the radar of Irish home hunters at least along the native coastline.

A lagoon, the dictionary says, is a saltwater lake, separated from the sea by an atoll or a sandbank.

Rosscarbery's lake just about qualifies for the lagoon description by the sand-bank connection, set up a tidal stretch from the popular sandy Warren Strand: it wouldn't be a lagoon atoll, atoll, otherwise.
