- Para quién: All ages; flat

Flat walk · 1 h 30 to 2 h one way · Malahide beach, the Robswall rocks, a Martello tower and the Velvet Strand

Fingal suggests this walk along the shore between the two towns. From the centre of Malahide you go down to Malahide beach, continue past the High Rock and Middle Rock at Robswall, and reach the Velvet Strand, Portmarnock's long beach, with a Martello tower from the Napoleonic wars. It is flat: at low tide you can walk on the sand.
Do it one way and come back the same way, or take the bus back from Portmarnock. There is no shade and there are no bars along the middle stretch: bring water and a layer, as you notice the sea wind.
