5. Beautiful Scenery & Wildlife

Howth truly is a beautiful place. A peninsular, one side looking over Dublin bay and the other out into the Irish sea. This means that from every angle you can enjoy a beautiful view!

On a clear day you can see the Sugar Loaf Mountain in Co. Wicklow and even Wales, UK.

Seals are regularly spotted basking around the coast of Howth and are particularly keen to show their faces in the harbour when a fish boat with a catch has just come in!
