Dublin and you almost feel as if you are being transported back in time to a simpler Irish way of life... no traffic jams, stunning scenery and beaches , lots of fresh sea air ,peace and quiet.... Bliss!Combine your trip out to Olive with a little explore around the area. At Olive we can fill a beautiful picnic basket, complete with rug, crammed with your choice of yummy lunch items to enjoy on either of our two beautiful beaches or up at Ardgillan castle. (Just remember to drop back the basket... we trust you!)

- Build sand castles on our beautiful South strand
- Skim stones on the water on our pebble North beach
