The place

About Forty Foot Bathing Place

Forty Foot is a historic sea-bathing place on the Sandycove promontory rather than a conventional sandy beach. Its exact public listing and official bathing record align. Use the established entry points, watch for changing sea conditions and respect other swimmers. Public access is recorded, but the usable shore and final approach can still change with tide, weather and local conditions. Official information lists parking and toilets; check current availability and local notices before relying on them.
