This is a nice little spot, suitable for a contemplative break. You will hardly be able to bathe as for most of the year the water is absolutely freezing.

Howth's Nose

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Nose of Howth is a captivating coastal point that juts out into the sea. 🌊📍

As you stand on this promontory, the wind carries the salty scent of the sea, and the waves create a soothing soundtrack that lulls you into a sense of tranquility. It's a place where you can reflect, watch seabirds glide above, and maybe even catch a glimpse of passing ships on the horizon. 🌅🌊🚶‍♂️

View of Baily Lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

Access to the lighthouse itself is closed, so you have to take your photos from a distance. Depending on the time of the day and preference for perspective taking it in from the other side might be the more beautiful idea.

View of the Baily Lighthouse from the Howth Cliffs

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Great walk on the top of the cliffs. There are a number of inofficial (and sometimes steep) pathes down to the water. The view of the lighthouse from here in the evening hours is just great.

View of Dublin and Martello Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

As you stroll along the cliff path, the city's skyline comes into focus, and you'll find yourself gazing at a panoramic view of Dublin. The urban landscape meets the sea, creating a contrast that's both vibrant and calming. 📸🏞️
