Rocky pier at Howth is a reliable seal-watching spot with seals hauling out on nearby rocks and bobbing near fishing boats. Shoot intimate wildlife portraits, action shots of seals surfacing, and moody coastal landscapes with Howth village and cliffs as context. Best at low wind dawn or golden hour for warm side light; calm afternoons also good for reflections. Easily reached by DART to Howth or short drive (paid parking nearby). No entry fee; stay on marked paths and keep distance for wildlife.
