A stroll in the evening is one of the delights of Dublin. Nowhere better than the east pier Dun Laoghaire. It stretches almost a mile out into the bay and is constructed from granite from the quarry at Dalkey which lies nearby. It is a true slice of Dublin life with young and older alike enjoying the forest air. Another... More

You can stroll along the waterfront take a brisk walk on East or West Piers feeling the wind in your face or just sit about eating ice-ream watching the world go by. All are possible on Dun Laoghaire Harbour. It is easily accessed with the Dart Station right in the centre you can take a train from the city centre... More

The harbor is very cool. It is kind of a long rock that goes into the water and there is another one on the other side of it. One day I was walking on one of the harbors and there was totally a seal swimming in the water, I couldn't believe it. later on there was a bird

There are not enough words to describe how great Dun Laoghaire Harbour is and how much I would recommend a visit here at any time of year and at any time of day and night. On a warm Summers day there is nothing better then looking out over Dublin Bay while enjoying an ice cream and a walk on the... More

Must go for a stomp down the pier. Take in the fresh air, beautiful view of the two Sailing Clubs, and all the moored up yaughts. The view across to Howth, and down the coastline is amazing too

I love going for a walk on this harbour on a warm evening, when the sun's going down.. It can be quite relaxing and it's nice to see all the boats and waves.. I like to walk along the outside near the rocks, sit down and just enjoy the view.. :) Also it can be a nice walk for kids... More

I liked here that you get a great view, especially if you're lucky enough to have some sun. Great to take pictures and enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee at the sea side. There is a bus that goes right there from Dublin City Centre and also a train station.

The Dun Laoghaire East Pier is a favorite walk of mine. I frequently take the dart out to Dun Laoghaire and visit the sunday markets at people park and then enjoy a stroll down the pier. It is a nice distance where you feel like you got a little bit of exercise and you have great beautiful views of sailboats,... More
