Walk on Sorrento road until you see a small path going towards the sea. You will go over a bridge crossing the DART line. The baths are located at the end of that path.

The baths are actually the name given to a swimming area on the shores of the Irish Sea.
The view on Killiney Bay, Bray Head and Wicklow is simply breathtaking and it is hard to imagine that the capital city lies only a few miles northward.
The baths have their usual attendants who brave the elements to go swimming all year along.
Like with the 40 Foot, located in Sandycove, naturism is authorized.
Vico Baths is one of these places that is really worth a detour if you happen to drive nearby. A gem in the rich suburbs of Dublin.
