Forty Foot

- Forty Foot


- Irish Lifeguards hard at work

Not far from the James Joyce Tower in Sandycove is what's known as the Forty Foot.

This has been a popular year round spot for swimmers in the Irish Sea for the past two centuries.  No matter the weather, there is a small but committed group of swimmers that take a dip here every day.  It's especially popular the day after Christmas...

Today's wonderful weather gave the families and children a final opportunity to enjoy the summer before school begins next week...
