Crookhaven (An Cruachán in Irish) is a scenic village in County Cork, Republic of Ireland, on the most south-western tip of Ireland. A winter population of about 40 swells in the summer to about 400 with the occupants of the many holiday homes arriving.
The village is steeped in history. It was an important port of call for shipping between Europe and the United States. Many of its early inhabitants were in the business of supplying the ships as they sheltered in Crookhaven after or before a long voyage.
The village has three pubs. O'Sullivans faces into the harbour and its walls are adorned with historical pictures of the village and notes about the area - a veritable museum with a beautiful view, great atmosphere and ample liquid refreshment.
