Howth the fishing village


King George IV was here, so do Herman & Kevin, but we only came here for one reason. The fishes and the shellfish; if you want real fishes from the North Atlantic, this is the place you want to be. Farm fish such as cod,salmon, sea bass and and some imported seafood not on my menu...Sea trout, tuna, scampi, oyster, crab, scallops and lobster is plentiful out here...


Don't mind the yacht over there, that are for rich man game, we stay on this side where the fisherman came with the loots from the sea.

Plenty of food and beverage outlets, mainly cater for tourist,. Don't expect something unique here. The normal stuff except more on seafood dishes. Pasta, seafood chowder, burger, tapas, wraps and if you lucky you find one or two restaurant selling lobster or real fish dishes.This place seriously need a specialized seafood joint.
 If you here for photography, get your wide angles, its a very beautiful spot to do many different subjects from street photography to harbor and the beauty of landscape through the mountain area.


Unlike the burren, Cliff of Moher, here you can wandered of any cliff you want but watch out for dangerous area. One mistake you a goner. Look at the centre, they are adventurous but can be fatal.


Its not a family or wheel chair friendly, if you do decide to bring your toddlers, make sure they are properly supervise for this mountain walk, The toddlers are trained to adapt this terrain and have the energy to go all the way like the boys here. Age 2 and half and 3 and half. They have gone through many mountain training and walks for miles.

Breathtaking view from the summit, great for photography landscape shooting, enjoyable exercise.

 Our catch of the day was Sea trout, Tuna and Superquinn oyster chicken thigh. Super nutritious Japanese Bento.
