Very nice place to enjoy this breathtaking view
Beautiful scenery, however this beach lacks some things- a safer way to get down the super steep stairs or even a little shower to clean your feet. This place js amazing nonetheless.
What can I say meet some nice people here and it's free therapy. Love this spot could do with better safer access
Beautiful scenic spot in Howth! We watched the swimmers from above, but there were a set of stairs to head down to the cove.
