Vico Baths & White Rock

About

The Dalkey end of the Vico Road, the coast road that gets compared, not entirely as a joke, to the Amalfi Coast. The Vico Baths are an open-air bathing place on the rocks, a year-round swimming spot with steps and a small concrete platform, free and unsupervised. A little further on, White Rock is a small beach below the road reached by its own steps. Both are local favourites and busy with swimmers from the first warm morning.
