Nohoval is a small south Cork parish in the hills above the coast between Kinsale and Crosshaven. The village itself is scattered — a church, a few houses along a road that dead-ends above the sea. Nohoval Cove below is small, sheltered and mostly off the tourist radar.
Walk down to the cove. It takes 20 minutes from the road and the path is clear enough. The headland views east toward Cork Harbour and west toward the Old Head of Kinsale are as good as anything in south Cork. Kinsale is 10km west.
Wear waterproofs. Bring a sandwich. Tell someone where you're going if it's the mountain.
Off the R612 between Carrigaline and Kinsale. Minor roads — use Google Maps or OS maps for the cove path.
