COLIEMORE HARBOUR - APRIL 2016

THE COLIEMORE HARBOUR AREA OF DALKEY

APRIL 2016 VISIT TO COLIMEMORE HARBOUR


SORRY FOR THE DELAY
Many months have passed since I visited Dalkey and it would appear that the area has more than recovered from the economic crash. There is much construction under way.

There are several small harbours on the coast of Dalkey. Bulloch Harbour is the biggest; it is towards the northern part of Dalkey at Harbour Road and is a declared seal sanctuary. Coliemore Harbour is much smaller but very picturesque and is in the southern part of Dalkey at Coliemore Road. In the Middle Ages Coliemore was the main harbour for Dublin City. Bulloch Harbour is still a working harbour with boats that fish for lobster and crab. It is also used by locals and tourists who hire boats for nearby fishing, sightseeing and for getting to Dalkey Island.
