Sandycove Travel Guide

Dublin

The beautiful promenade at Dún Laoghaire lies on the southern side of Dublin Bay. Dublin Bay is a key recreational area, but it is also an important marine conservation area.  The shallow bay contains mudflats, sandbanks and rocky outcrops which in turn support a varied ecological diversity. At low tide, you can get a glimpse of the rich diversity of the intertidal shoreline.

The staff was very nice but there were flies in the room and the carpet smelled like mold. I’m not sure how it got a 4 star but it was more like a 2 star hotel. The towels looked unclean.
