Access
Harbour car parks beside the east and west piers; DART to Dún Laoghaire. Surfaces are paved and beginner-friendly. Stay clear of ferry, marina, and racing fairways.
Tide
Dublin Port (North Wall) high water is effectively the same time as Dún Laoghaire (+0 min in Dublin Port differences). Use Port live heights; there is no separate Dún Laoghaire instrument on this site.
Safety
Busy promenade and bike traffic. Keep lines clear of boats in the entrance channel. Slippery lower steps. Charter and hire boats operate from the harbour: this site covers shore fishing only.
Tactics
Feathers and small lures for summer mackerel. Winter: ledger worm baits after dark for whiting and dogfish. Float or light spinning along wall edges for pollack and coalfish. Inner harbour for dab, plaice and float mullet when space allows.
