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.
