Treat yourself to Catherine's favorite, a '99'.
Our favorite for a scenic coffee, breakfast or lunch. Made even better after a sea swim. Highly recommend the baked goods (chocolate Guinness cake). Right down the road from our suggested hotels.
Iconic swimming spot and a must visit for the "Bad Sisters" fans.
Spotting a theme here? Sea swim and sauna, what's not to love.
Beautiful for a refreshingly cold sea swim or coastal walk.
A Shalloe family favorite, and Stephen's most visited pub in Ireland. Drop in for a meal, stay for a night of pints.
Dublin Restaurant. Catherine favors the butter chicken, Stephen the Afghani chicken. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
Phenomenal steak frites & martini duo. Follow it up with a pint in Finnegan's (Bono's favorite pub).
Our favorite fact: a pint of Guinness contains 300 million bubbles. Learn to pour one yourself and enjoy the incredible penthouse bar with 360° views of Dublin.
Take the dart out to the stunning seaside town Howth. There's a 2-2.5 hour cliff path walking loop for some of the best coastal views in Ireland. Follow it up with lunch at the Brass Monkey or Octopussy's Seafood.

A 2.5 hour train away, this coastal town offers incredible food (Kai), the coziest pubs (Monroe's) and incredible scenic walks.
