Cedar & Steam Sauna

Cloyne, Co. Cork

Cedar & Steam runs a sea sauna on two East Cork beaches: Ballycroneen Strand near Cloyne, and Guileen Bay near Whitegate. Sessions alternate between heat and a dip in the sea, and the host adds touches you rarely see in Ireland, like birch whisks and sauna hats, with refreshments between rounds.
