Sandycove is a pretty little seaside area on the south coast of Dublin. Located on the DART line, close to Dun Laoghaire, the area is a popular destination for the city’s brave year-round swimmers. The area features a delightful little beach, which is a popular family destination for a day out during the summer. Sandycove is also home to an outdoor bathing area known as the Forty-Foot. These outdoor baths were once an all-male nude bathing area, but they are now open to all (and clothing is encouraged!). Sandycove is also home to the fascinating James Joyce Tower.
