A promenade built around Ireland's claimed-largest public sundial, a Hiberno-Romanesque church with a Celtic-carved doorway, a postcard-famous holiday beach built up with imported sand, the site of a greyhound stadium that once trained an Olympian, and the shallow channel where the River Fane slips into Dundalk Bay beneath the Cooley Mountains. Looking for things to do in Blackrock? Start here — no car, no ticket, no booking.
