Sea Swimming Edition
The Swimwear Guide
On an island such as our own, swimwear isn’t just for summer. We’re lucky enough to have a host of world-class, blue-flag beaches on our shores, so sea-swimming has become a cultural cornerstone. These are the swimwear options that will see you shoreside year-round.
Spot 1: Vico Baths, Dalkey
This iconic bathing spot is about a 15 minute walk outside of Dalkey Town. Frequented over the years by celebrities such as Harry Styles and Matt Damon, this cliff-side swim is a favourite of many. Head to your Vico Baths dip in a chic Hunza G one-piece, complete with a cosy Adanola sweat to throw on afterwards to warm up.
Spot 2: Balscadden Bay, Howth
Shop Swim
A sheltered cove along the north Dublin coast, Balscadden Bay Beach boasts scenic views, rolling greenery and clear waters. This small sandy beach is perfect to sunbathe on in between dips in the water, but to access this beach you need to descend steep stone steps so for this option we’ve chosen a bikini from Away That Day and comfortable trainers to help you enjoy this cliffside beach in style.
Spot 3: Dingle Peninsula
Some of the country's most beautiful beaches are dotted along this stretch of coastline. Explore Blue Flag beaches at Inch, Ventry and Maherabeg. And did you know that this part of the coast is also dotted with stunning saunas to heat you up after a swim? This time, we’re reaching for a one-piece from SKIMS, designed to give perfect coverage and support, Arizona EVA Sandals from Birkenstock and maybe a fluffy towelled robe to take you from shore-side to sauna comfortably.
Spot 4: Keem Bay, Achill Island
Shop Swim
If you plan to take a trip within our beautiful country this year, we recommend Keem Bay’s rolling white shores. This horseshoe bay in Achill Island is an almost tropical-seeming oasis, with a landscape that on a sunny day can rival Hawai’i. Keem Bay deserves a swimsuit as bright and beautiful as its landscape, so we’re reaching for a bright number from Seafolly and pairing it with a large tote to carry all your picnic essentials. After all, this swimming spot deserves a full day out.
Spot 5: The Spa
If sea-swimming isn't your vibe, don't worry. We also have a host of stunning saunas and pools in our beautiful country. And did you know that as an Encore Loyalty member you can get exclusive offers on some of the most desirable hotels and spas in the country? For your spa 'fit, we recommend a comfortable two-piece from Hunza G and beauty products that will help you prolong that ultra-relaxed feeling.
