Bay Views & Irish Brews

Discover the wild side of Dublin Bay with coastal hikes, breathtaking views, and a pub lunch complete with an Irish coffee tutorial.
Step out of Dublin’s buzz and into the beauty of Dublin Bay — starting at Howth Summit, where cliffside trails offer sweeping views of the Dublin Mountains. Explore hidden beaches, rare coastal wildlife, and even meet Old Irish Goats — nature’s own landscapers. Stop mid-hike for smoked salmon and prosecco before reaching Howth Village. Cozy up in a 16th-century pub for a hearty lunch and a crash course in making the perfect Irish coffee, then wrap up with a visit to the charming Monkstown.
