Paddling near Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin


Dún Laoghaire sits on the south shore of Dublin Bay in County Dublin, and its large Victorian harbour is the focal point for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding in the area. The harbour's mostly sheltered 200 acres of water make it one of the most accessible flatwater paddling spots on Ireland's east coast, while the coastline around Dalkey and Scotsman's Bay extends the options for those ready to venture further out.
