"Came here on a Howth Adventures e-bike tour, which I highly recommend. They even arranged for perfect weather somehow!"
"Walk along the pier, until you come to the lighthouse. Characteristic."
"Beautiful scenery, nice walk. Not much in the line of parking."
"Howth it is one of the nicest parts of Dublin north coastline. The Howth Lighthouse is located at the end of the East Pier of the Howth Habour, where you can enjoy view on Ireland Eye and West Harbour and Irish Sea. It does not take a long walk to reach it, only couple of minutes of walking from the beginning of the Howth Habour. Currently it is replaced by the pole light that it is situated at the end of the pier."
