Sandymount (Dumhach Thrá in Irish) is a coastal suburb in Dublin 4 on the Southside of Dublin. Sandymount is an affluent suburb with many large houses, mostly dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Sandymount Green is a triangular park in the centre of Sandymount, located right next to the village. Some rather fine houses (part of the former Sandymount Castle) and some cafés and shops surround the green. Sandymount Strand is situated adjacent to the village and is a popular place for locals to take a walk. It is not ideal for swimming as the gradual slope of the beach makes the water too shallow to allow swimming near the shoreline.
