🌐 If The Past Could Talk

Malahide–Portmarnock Coastal Walk

A shoreline walk distinct from Malahide's castle and town centre: from the Martello-tower coast road at Robswalls, south along the five-kilometre Velvet Strand where transatlantic flights once departed, past St Marnock's ruined church and forgotten well, along the Portmarnock Golf Links, to a quiet estuary viewpoint looking out at Ireland's Eye. Looking for things to do in Malahide–Portmarnock? Start here — no car, no ticket, no booking.
