Tips from locals
The Forty Foot, Sandycove If jumping into the open sea is your thing, the Forty Foot is the place to visit. A quick 30 minute DART journey south of the city, this spot on the southernmost tip of Dublin Bay is perfect for a leap into the waves. Dubliners have been enjoying bracing swims here for hundreds of years. For some local literary history, head to the iconic Martello Tower nearby. As featured in James Joyce’s Ulysses, the sturdy round tower was built in 1804 as a defence against an invasion by Napoleon. Today, it’s the James Joyce Museum and you’ll find a collection of letters, photographs and memorabilia belonging to the writer. Picturesque Bullock Harbour with its castle ruins is also a stone’s throw away, while it’s just a short stroll to Dun Laoghaire if you’re in the mood for some post dip refreshment.
