There are many pet-friendly things to do in Malahide. For example, you can take your humans to visit the Castle and the Gardens: https://www.malahidecastleandgardens.ie/
It is a medieval castle with 800 years of heritage. The 260 acres of gardens are very beautiful and huge. You can walk for hours and along the trails, you can see nice wood carvings that remind of the characters of a fairy tail.
The landscape is amazing. You can discover 5,000 varieties of plants and visit the butterfly house, with tropical plants and over 20 species of butterflies.
Dogs are welcome in the gardens, although you must have your leash on. However, there is an amazing off-leash area where dogs can play and run.
This is me playing with my frisbee:
After visiting the Castle and the Gardens, you can take your humans to the village for a walk. The streets are colorful and lively.
There are many shops and restaurants, as well as painters selling their paintings all over the walk that connects the center of the village to the beach.
The beach in Malahide is pet-friendly. Many dogs take their human families to the beach, so you will be able to make new friends there.
You have to be on your leash when you are on the beach, although there are some areas where you can be off-leash. You can find more information here: https://www.thebeachguide.co.uk/republic-of-ireland/county-dublin/malahide.htm

KEEP DISCOVERING...!!
Today I am taking my human family to Dublin city! https://www.visitdublin.com/
Since there are many things to do and see in Dublin, we started our road trip in the morning. We stopped for brunch in Caragh, a lovely village near Dublin city. My human family loved a restaurant that is in this village: COOKE'S. https://cookesofcaragh.com/
Food is delicious and they have a nice Beer Garden where dogs are welcome.
HOW ABOUT GOING FIRST TO PLAY FOR A WHILE?
There are beautiful parks in Dublin to take your human family. In these links you can find information about them:
We visited 2 parks:
It is a beautiful park for the whole family. It has playground, fisheries, fairy woods, cycle track, allotments, rose gardens, sport & playing pitches, cricket pitch, caseball pitches, caravan park, river walk and public toilets. Besides this, it has a nice off-leash area for dogs to play.
This is me taking the Frisbee's test to see how good the dog area is 😜
ST. STEPHEN GREEN PARK: https://ststephensgreenpark.ie/
It is a lovely park in the city center, just in front of the shopping area. It is very lively, full of people getting some rest in the gardens, or doing an improvised break for lunch or dinner.
We went on Saturday evening, so there were many young people gathered there, having a drink and listening to music. All of them were super nice a friendly with me 😀.
In the center of the park, there is a big lake with ducks and swans, and many seagulls who are very used to humans and get close to you, so you can give them some food.
Next to this park, you can take your humans to the shopping area. They will be able to buy clothes, shoes, accessories, etc... and stop to eat or drink something. Many of the restaurants and bars have an outdoor area, and dogs are welcome there. The most famous places where you can take your humans for shopping is THE STEPHEN'S GREEN SHOPPING CENTER.
