Baywatch Bull


Caretaker

Recommended Posts

The North Bull, is a concrete and stone wall built out into the bay which with its equivalent the South Wall creates a flow of water that helps keep the port clear of silt. An in-intended consequence was the creation of the sandy North Bull island which has two golf courses a long beach and a bird sanctuary.

Dollymount beach

LKF The much maligned William Bligh of HMS Bounty fame, surveyed Dublin Bay and suggested the erection of the North Bull, his name still appears on navigation charts. This was after his voyage to the Pacific and his falling out with that no-good Fletcher Christian.
