Lots of on street parking in addition to garage and space directly in front of house.
Bull Island (5 minutes' walk):
Bull Island is an island that is barely 200 years old, being formed by the gathering of sand from when the Great South Wall was built in the 1700s. The process of sand accumulation gathered momentum with the construction of the North Bull Wall between 1825 and 1830. Eventually isolated sandbanks became interconnected and with their dunes held together by long-rooted marram grass and other sea-hardy plants the whole conglomeration gelled into a single island that is still growing. A swimming beach, nearly the full 3 mile (5 km) length of the island provides a great leisure facility for Dubliners and visitors alike. There is a fantastic variety of bird life on the island especially during the winter when migratory birds flock here from colder climes. In 1986 Dublin City Council opened Bull Island Interpretative Centre to assist in the understanding of the unique flora and fauna and specialized habitats of the surrounding sand dunes and salt marshes.

Golf:
In the 1880's the Royal Dublin Golf Club developed a golf links and in 1927 St. Anne's Golf Course was developed. In 1955, Dublin Corporation acquired the entire island from the Royal Dublin Golf Club apart from the club itself. Following the construction of the Causeway Road in 1962/1964 to increase access to the Island, the Corporation granted St. Anne's Golf Club a lease sufficient to increase this course from 9 to 18 holes.
