Low Rock, Malahide

BeachLocal favourite

A rocky swimming spot on the coast road south of Malahide that Fingal council lists for fishing and swimming, depending on the tide, with fossils in the rocks. Locals swim here daily and look after the changing huts themselves, and Leinster open-sea races start here; visitors heading for Malahide Castle never see it.
