Location: Fennells Bay, Cork, €450,000

Festooned with houses, bungalows and chalets along sloping lanes winding down to beach paths, Fennells Bay is one of Cork’s special seaside locations — next stop, America.

Out around the headland from Crosshaven, out towards Myrtleville but reaching down some different lanes, it’s a spot infrequently visited by day-trippers due to the lack of a sandy beach.
