Clontarf contains numerous sporting facilities, such as GAA, Rugby, Cricket, Tennis, Golf and Sailing. The local schools are also of excellent repute. Clontarf is one stop on the DART from the city centre, has a cosy village atmosphere and most roads lead down to the sea. The place is steeped in history.
