Bull Island
Situated in Dublin Bay, Bull Island is less than 200 year old. The island formed as sand built up along the North Bull Wall which was constructed during the 19th Century to protect Dublin Harbour. The wall is connected by a wooden bridge to Clontarf which allows the tidal waters of the Irish Sea to flow around the island. There can be up to 27,000 birds on the island at one time.
The continued silting in the area will more than likely see Bull Island merging with the mainland at Sutton within the next 50 years. The island has a beach, sandy dunes, mudflats and salt marshes and is home to two golf courses, Royal Dublin and Saint Anne’s.
Its location as a UNESCO Biosphere reserve within a capital city is also unique and it is classified as a Wetland of International importance under the Ramsar Convention.
One of the best things about Bull Island is the view of Dublin and Dublin Bay. You can see the Wicklow Mountains and Howth Head and many of the taller building in Dublin city centre.
Bull Island is an oasis in the middle of a major city. It is truly an oasis with a lot to offer visitors.
