    Sheep Haven is a bay off the Atlantic Ocean on the north coast of Ireland. It offers multiple anchorages in a variety of coves in a tranquil rural setting, with some seasonal moorings at one of the village piers.

          The Irish name Cuan na gCaorach, "Haven of the Sheep", is a neologism, from a mistranslation of Cuan na gCurrach, "The Bay (or Haven) of the Currachs (boats)". When the name was translated to English, the word "ship" (used by monoglot locals for 'boat') was misheard as "sheep".

            The secluded beach can be reached with a nice little hike.
