Paddling near Dublin, Co. Dublin

Dublin sits at the mouth of the Liffey in County Dublin, where the river meets Dublin Bay — a UNESCO Biosphere. Paddlers here can move between urban flatwater on the Liffey and the Grand Canal, sheltered sea kayaking and SUP along the bay's coastline, and day trips to spots like Dalkey Island, Dún Laoghaire Harbour, Howth, and Malahide Estuary. The variety of accessible flatwater, estuarine and coastal paddling within the county makes Dublin one of Ireland's most active paddling cities.
