Plenty of slips in the area
Monkstown has one inside the pier and another one below it.
A bit further out there is one at Ringaskiddy on the way into the ferry berth.
Crosshaven has one opposite the boatyard at the end of the village
On the other side of the harbour there is no shortage of them in Cobh but "Disc Parking" is in operation there
Aghada Pier is sheltered and close to a lot of the better bass marks
Guileen is on the coast so calm conditions are need here.
