EuroVelo 2 – Capitals Route (Irish Sea section)

Overview

About this tour

A coastal slice of EuroVelo 2 around Dublin Bay. Starting near Sandymount, this Irish Sea section rolls along the shoreline on mostly traffic‑free cycleways with the odd access‑road link. It’s flat, breezy, and easy to ride for any level.

Expect big sea views, tidal sands, and quick links into Dublin’s city routes. Use it for a relaxed out‑and‑back by the bay or as a tidy connector on the wider Capitals Route across Europe. Perfect for a short spin, sightseeing, or a calm coast‑hugging commute.

Heads-up: wind off the water can kick up, and the strand changes with the tide, so conditions can feel different from just a few streets inland.
