CLONTARF PIER AND SLIPWAY IS NEAR THE CLONTARF YACHT CLUB
Clontarf Boat Slipway, which is a popular spot for launching small boats and kayaks, and also for swimming! It's located right by the Clontarf Yacht & Boat Club.
History: It's been around for a long time, dating back to 1875 when the Clontarf Yacht and Boat Club was founded. So it has quite a bit of history itself, just like the Baths!
Recent Popularity: It's seen a surge in popularity for sea swimming, especially since the Covid pandemic when boating activities were reduced.
Parking Issues: There have been some issues with illegal parking around the slipway, with people blocking access for those launching boats. Dublin City Council has installed bollards to try and manage this.
Accessibility: While the bollards have helped with parking, some kayakers have found it harder to access the slipway with their equipment. This has caused a bit of debate locally.
