Gazing over the enchanting expanse of Howth Harbour, your eyes are drawn to the majestic silhouette of Ireland's Eye. This captivating island, nestled just off the coast, adds a touch of magic to the seascape.

The island's rugged cliffs, adorned with seabird colonies, create a spectacle against the backdrop of the azure sea. Venture closer, and you'll discover the untamed beauty of Ireland's Eye, where seabirds dance on the ocean breezes, and the echoes of coastal tales linger in the salty air.

Howth Cliff Path

Highlight • Trail

Nice little hike of a few kilometers to do around the peninsula. Its beginning is truly magical. It's just a shame that there are so many people in February...
Otherwise, this landscape makes us feel far from the city when it is very close…
To visit !

View of Baily Lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

Access to the lighthouse itself is closed, so you have to take your photos from a distance. Depending on the time of the day and preference for perspective taking it in from the other side might be the more beautiful idea.
