The Bull Island
Why locals love it
The Bull Island began to form about 200 years ago when port walls were built to stop the Dublin port silting up. Over those years it has grown into what we have today. Locals love using the island for outdoor recreation including walking, kite surfing and when the weather is good swimming.
