Parking in Billy's Field

Parking in Crookhaven is always a bit of a headache, especially during the summer months, when people insist on driving right into the village where parking spaces are scarce.

This often leads to jams and frustration, particularly with camper vans and other large vehicles.

To help, please turn right at the Welcome sign on the wall of the Sailing Club and drive up to Billy’s Field, where Billy O’Sullivan offers free parking during the summer months when village parking is at a premium.

Billy’s Field is a convenient, hard-core surface car park just 50m from the village entrance, helping to keep our streets clear and safe. If you’re visiting with a camper van or similar large vehicle, please note that overnight parking is not permitted anywhere — in the car park, the village, or the quayside.

Boat and trailer storage in Billy’s field can be arranged by enquiring at O’Sullivan’s pub,

Thanks for helping us keep the village free-flowing

Pontoon Access & Boat Storage

Crookhaven Pontoon is owned and operated by Crookhaven Village. The village asks that users pay the casual daily or season fees from the QR Codes found at the top of the steps or you can pay here.

Crookhaven Village Association is voluntary and pontoon fees enable us to maintain and insure the pontoon. Please pay and display your season pass. No vessels over 6.5 metres. All propellors must be down.

Boat and trailer storage in Billy’s field can be arranged by enquiring at O’Sullivan’s Pub.
