Schull Harbour is a bay indenting the south coast of County Cork, in the very west of the county. This bay has long been known as a 'harbour of refuge' where ships seek shelter from the ocean storms.
The bay is sheltered from the open Atlantic by two small islands beyond the mouth of the bay: Long Island and Castle Island, which belong to Carbery's Hundred Isles. Copper Point Lighthouse stands at Copper Point, the eastern point of Long Island.
Schull is a small port on the west shore of the bay, from which ferries sail to Clear Island
