It is the county town of the Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown district.

Beautiful place to have a stroll.The Amazing view, just cuts u off from the hustle bustle of the city. This comes under the little joys we need.Jus sitting there watching people walking, angling, jogging, children playing, some with dripping icecreams just cheers u up.

I've been walking Dun Laoghaire pier since I was a kitchen d and now I bring my own children... Great view of the town's spires on return leg of journey with Dublin mountains behind... The outward journey is rewarded by a great view over to howth head... Walk the West pier with your dog for a change, it's rougher but quieter

The West Pier tends to be the poorer cousin to the East Pier. It is in more shabby condition with loose stone on the upper tier. There are not as many historic features to the pier. The views back to the land are still really nice and there is a small Green Lighthouse at the end. Recommended for a nice walk.
