SEE THE COAST DIFFERENTLY
FINGAL SEA SAFARI
Some of the best views of Dublin are not found on land. Step aboard with Fingal Sea Safari and discover the coastline from an entirely new perspective. From dramatic cliffs and coastal landmarks to islands, wildlife and open water, every journey offers a different way to experience Dublin’s north coast. For guests staying at The Grand Hotel, Fingal Sea Safari is an opportunity to leave the shoreline behind and see just how much there is to discover beyond it.
Departing from Howth Harbour, Fingal Sea Safari takes you out onto the Irish Sea to explore one of the most scenic stretches of coastline in North Dublin.
Take in views of beaches, cliffs, islands and coastal villages while discovering the landscape from a completely different angle. Keep an eye on the water and skies around you, with the opportunity to encounter local marine and birdlife along the way.
Whether you are looking for adventure, planning a memorable family day out or simply want to experience something different during your stay, Fingal Sea Safari is sightseeing with a sense of adventure.

ON YOUR DOORSTEP
BEGIN IN MALAHIDE
Some of the area’s most memorable experiences begin just moments from the hotel. Wander through Malahide Village, where independent shops, cafés and the marina create an easy-going coastal atmosphere, or step into centuries of local story at Malahide Castle & Gardens. With the village, castle grounds and shoreline close by, there is no need to travel far to make a day feel well spent.
SEA AIR & OPEN ROADS
FOLLOW THE COAST
Beyond Malahide, the Fingal coastline opens out into long sandy beaches, harbour towns and sea-view walks. Head to Portmarnock for an expansive beach stroll, hire a bike and explore at your own pace, or make the journey to Howth for harbour dining and dramatic cliffside views. It is an invitation to take the scenic route, with every turn offering a new perspective on Dublin’s north coast.
EXPLORE FINGAL
GARDENS, ESTATES, & COASTLINE
Take the time to explore the wider character of Fingal, where historic estates meet open parkland and the Irish Sea. Discover the gardens and coastal views of Ardgillan Castle, step back in time at Newbridge House & Farm, or travel north to Skerries Mills for a glimpse of traditional craft and coastal village life. Each offers an easy day out from Malahide, with space to wander, pause and see a different side of Dublin.
DUBLIN WITHIN REACH
MAKE A DAY OF THE CITY
Dublin City is close enough to enjoy at your own pace, whether you are planning a family day out, attending a major sporting occasion or taking in the capital’s best-known sights. Visit Dublin Zoo in Phoenix Park, experience the atmosphere of Croke Park or Aviva Stadium, or see the city through a guided DoDublin tour. When the day is done, return to The Grand Hotel and the calmer rhythm of the coast.
