Cork sits at the mouth of the River Lee, where the city's tidal channels give way to a coastline of ragged cliffs, rocky islands, sea caves and sheltered inlets stretching west into West Cork. The area draws paddlers to everything from guided SUP tours on the Lee through the city centre to sea kayaking along the Wild Atlantic Way around Baltimore, Castlehaven Bay and Lough Hyne.
