We took the Toots train from the grand hotel which was a fun experience for everyone to start with. Took the kids to the well laid out kids playground while some of the adults had coffee and huge scones in the very good Avoca restaurant Took the 12-30 tour of the castle which was a 45 minute very informative tour of the castle We then followed the fairy trail which the kids loved and a wander round the gardens probably didn’t take in everything so much to do. Avoca shop is excellent as well.

Malahide Beach

Reviewed By motorcar1 - Dublin, Ireland

Visited Malahide Beach today after our visit to Malahide Castle. It is a lovely beach with a large car park as well as lots of on street parking. There are lifeguards there during the summer months. Public toilets near the car park too. The ice cream van is in the car park too, so the children are well happy. It’s a great spot on a nice day.

Malahide Marina

Reviewed By GeoffreyG258

Everyone who works at Malahide Marina is helpful and friendly. The facilities are quite good. The marina is only a short walk from the heart of the town with a variety of pubs and restaurants to choose from. It is also on the DART line, so you can reach Dublin quite easily.
