About Howth
Howth is a distinctive coastal village and peninsula in north-east Dublin, within the D13 area and connected to Sutton, Portmarnock and the wider city. It combines established residential streets with a lively harbour, fishing heritage and dramatic Head scenery, giving it a strong village feel despite relatively straightforward access to central Dublin. Daily life centres on the harbour and village streets, where residents find cafés, seafood restaurants, pubs, small shops and essential services. The DART provides a practical commuting option, while Dublin Bus routes and the road through Sutton link Howth with neighbouring coastal districts and the city. Families have access to local primary and secondary schools, with further education options available across north Dublin. Outdoor life is a major attraction, from Howth Cliff paths and the summit to beaches, harbour walks, boating and nearby Deer Park. The area also has a strong sporting and community character, including sailing, Gaelic games and other clubs, while notable landmarks include Howth Castle, Ireland’s Eye views and the historic harbour.
