About Dalkey
Dalkey is a sought-after coastal village in south County Dublin, between Killiney, Glenageary and Sandycove, with views across Dublin Bay towards Howth. It combines handsome period houses and quiet, leafy residential roads with a lively village centre of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs. Daily life is generally walkable, although many residents use cars for larger shopping trips or commuting. Families have access to local primary schools including Dalkey School Project National School and Harold Boys National School Dalkey, with further secondary and third-level options available across south Dublin. Dalkey railway station provides DART access along the coast to central Dublin, while regular Dublin Bus services connect the village with surrounding suburbs; the nearby ESB Electric Vehicle Charge Point is useful for electric-car owners. The seafront, harbour and nearby Killiney Hill offer excellent opportunities for walking, swimming and enjoying coastal scenery. Dalkey Castle and Heritage Centre, local cultural events and the village’s strong community life add to its distinctive character, while restaurants and pubs around Castle Street and Coliemore Road make the area popular for evenings and weekends.
