Sandycove
Encyclopedia : S : SA : SAN : Sandycove
Sandycove is a small village on the east coast of the Republic of Ireland, in the County of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown. Travelling south it is after Dún Laoghaire and Glasthule, but before Dalkey.
James Joyce lived for a time in a Martello Tower situated beside the Forty Foot bathing place at Sandycove. Nearby on the seafront is the unique landmark house designed in the Avant Garde style by Michael Scott, eminent 20th century Architect who made it his residence. Sandycove is also well-known for its gentlemen's bathing place, the 'Forty Foot' which in the past afforded a quiet swimming haven for males only, however the tranquility and privacy enjoyed by the swimmers has been much eroded in recent years.
