Located just over 10km from Dublin city centre, Dun Laoghaire Harbour offers over 200 acres of sheltered water—an ideal setting for learning to stand-up paddleboard. Based at the slipway to the Coal Harbour, the most protected part of the port, this experience is perfect for beginners and confident paddlers alike.

 

Instructors tailor the session to each person's pace—whether it’s a relaxed introduction or a guided explore of the harbour. Experienced paddlers can also rent a board and set off on their own coastal adventure.
