10 Sights & Landmarks in Dalkey That You Shouldn't Miss
Dalkey (/ˈdɔːkiː/; Irish: Deilginis, meaning "thorn island") is one of the most affluent suburbs of Dublin, and a seaside resort southeast of the city, and the town of Dun Laoghaire, in Ireland. It was founded as a Viking settlement and became an active port during the Middle Ages. According to chronicler John Clyn (c.1286–c.1349), it was one of the ports through which the plague entered Ireland in the mid-14th century. In modern times, Dalkey has become a seaside suburb that attracts some tourist visitors. It has been home to writers and celebrities including Jane Emily Herbert, Maeve Binchy, Hugh Leonard, Bono, Van Morrison and Enya. The village and broader area lie within the jurisdiction of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.

The sea is a lot more choppy when you break cover from Dalkey Island. However well worth the trip and we saw a shoal of dolphins as well. Brilliant!

Sorrento Point Rock Fishing is free to the public and a great place for mackerel and feather fishing. You need a fishing rod as line fishing not so easy and snagging in the rocks. Excellent!
