Lower Aghada Pier Marina sits on the southeastern shore of Cork Harbour in East County Cork. The pier itself extends roughly 110 metres into the harbour and is about 3. 5 metres wide, with pontoons wrapping around the head.

Mariners should note that the immediate area is shallow, with a depth alongside of approximately 0. 6 metres LAT, so vessels with any significant draught will need to stand off. There are no harbour dues in Cork Harbour.

The pier dates to the post-Famine era, and steamboats once operated from here to Cobh, Passage West, and Cork city from the 1850s until road transport took over in the 1930s.

Today it serves recreational boaters and anglers, with the surrounding waters known for flounder, dabs, dogfish, conger, and seasonal codling.

Lower Aghada has also been identified as one of 17 proposed docking points for a planned zero-emission commuter and tourist ferry service linking harbour towns.
