The beach of Myrtleville is one of the nearest beaches of Cork City and is very popular with sea swimmers. In fact, many of the people who work in Myrtleville go for a swim together in the morning. 

If swimming is not your thing there are many great walks from the beach or through the nearby woods. 

If sport is your thing then Crosshaven rugby club has its sports ground at the top of Myrtleville hill. 

At the end of the day people love gathering for a drink outside the Lodge Bar & Kitchen which gives amazing views of the sun setting over the coast.
