The Best Sunrise Swim Locations in Dublin
Are you and your beau early birds as well as love birds? Here are some of the best places for a ‘swimrise’ if so!
1. 40 Foot - Dún Laoghaire
First on the list is Dublin’s most famous swimming spot, the 40 Foot! If you don’t feel like jumping in, there are steps with a handrail which is perfect for easy access. There is also a changing area where you can dry yourself off and leave your bag and towels in a safe location.
2. High Rock - Portmarnock
Portmarnock and Malahide don’t fight over this location for no reason! High Rock gives you the option of jumping from a height or using the ladder provided. The currents can be quite strong here so we advise you don’t go alone or be a competent swimmer.
A very popular location this summer and it is clear to see why! Quite a secluded find with access through a gap in the wall but the adventure is worth it! If beginners are nervous, they can try the much calmer seawater pool first.
4. Bull Island - Clontarf
A stunning location on the north side of Dublin. This is a walk in swim so there is no diving needed! The water is on the shallower side but still just as amazing. The beach is gorgeous, why not have your breakfast on the beach after your swim?
Last on the list but certainly not least, Howth! Howth has many options to choose from for a ‘swimrise’ together! Howth Pier is a well known location for swimmers and divers, with Burrow Beach and Balscadden Bay being more secluded.
