Swim and chill at Red Rock Beach
Howth Head is full of gorgeous little hidden beaches . Red Rock Beach, which is close to the Sutton end of the cliff walk, is a lovely little spot that never gets too busy.
If you time it right, you'll get a stunning sunset here overlooking Dublin City.
Explore the dunes at Dollymount
The Dollymount dunes is by far one of the most underrated spots in the city for a picnic and catching the sunset.
As the sun goes down over the city behind after a sunny day, you'll get some simply breath taking scenes.
Visit Dublin's best beer garden
There are many contenders for the title of Dublin's best beer garden but many would argue that it is indeed Toner's on Baggot Street.
The large outdoor space acts as a lovely little sun trap and a pint of the black stuff just goes down extra well here.
Discover the hidden city centre park
Have you ever been to Blessington Street Basin?
Located just off Dorset Street, this little oasis in the city centre is an ideal stroll for a post-work destress. Sit and listen to the fountains sprinkling the water in this stunning little hidden spot.
Walk along Swords Estuary to Malahide
Swords Estuary is by far one of the most underrated walks in Dublin. There are benches dotted along the path offering opportunities to stop and take in the views of the water.
Keep going until you reach Malahide and even venture as far as Malahide Beach, go barefoot and enjoy the gentle waves lapping over your feet for the ultimate grounding experience after a long day.
Take in the scenes along Dublin's Royal Canal
Dublin's Royal Canal stretches all the way from the city centre, under Croke Park, through Drumcondra and Phibsborough to Cabra, Ashtown and far beyond, offering a multitude of walking opportunities.
Additionally, there are plenty of grassy areas and banks you can stop at to sit and perhaps even enjoy a bite, namely from Eatyard at The Bernard Shaw.
