Discover Howth

If you’re looking for a hotel in Howth, you can get your bearings using three specific topics: the described coastal sections, road orientation, and a dated reference to Pablo’s. The coastal descriptions distinguish between two beach sections; the route information covers the meeting point of the old and new roads and the end of the Central Coast coastal detour. Another reference point is the heavy vehicle rest area on the Bass Highway. The following details will help you distinguish between these locations.

Distinguishing between two beach sections

The T 1100 beach section at Howth 3 lies east of the rocky outcrops. It runs 400 metres east to the next rocky coastal section. Its description therefore combines three clear features: the T 1100 designation, its location east of the rocky outcrops, and its eastward course. At T 1098 in Howth, the beach section begins at a seawall built to protect the highway. From there, it runs 300 metres southeast, past the small projecting mouth of Heybridge Rivulet, to a 50-metre-long rocky and shingle outcrop.

When comparing them directly, the direction and reference point are especially helpful. T 1100 is identified by its location east of the rocky outcrops and the next rocky coastal section; T 1098 by the seawall, the mouth of Heybridge Rivulet, and the rocky and shingle outcrop. The distances also refer to different things: 400 metres describes the course of T 1100, 300 metres the course of T 1098, and the additional 50 metres only the rocky and shingle outcrop at the end of the second description.

Getting your bearings on the roads and at the rest area

For road orientation, read the location information separately from the rest area’s location. In Howth, the old and new roads meet; this is also where the Central Coast coastal detour ends. If you plan to take this detour, check the signs and road conditions locally. The rest area is located more precisely between two named roads: the Howth Heavy Vehicle Rest Area is on the Bass Highway between Nine Mile Road and Reynolds Road. These details locate the rest area using different reference points from the meeting point of the old and new roads in Howth.

The Howth Heavy Vehicle Rest Area has a building with toilet facilities and a bus-stop shelter. As facilities may be maintained or changed, check their current condition before visiting.

A dated reference to Pablo’s

In July 2017, it was decided that Pablo’s should receive a new, secure home in Howth as a tourist attraction. This links Pablo’s to a tourism project planned at the time. The date marks when the decision was made and establishes this reference as a historical point of interest. If you also take cultural and historical references into account when planning your trip, you can consider this decision as a distinct point in time alongside the landscape and road information.
