Where We Are
Dun Laoghaire Harbour, just 10km from Dublin city centre, spans 200 acres of historic, sheltered water — making it the perfect place to learn Stand Up Paddle. Protected from most wind directions and offering plenty of space, it’s ideal for beginners. We’re based at the slipway in Coal Harbour, the oldest and most sheltered part of the port, and the perfect spot for your first SUP session.
The combo
The experience runs from the BigStyle SUP School in Dun Laoghaire Harbour, with the floating Helios sauna located directly on the water within the harbour itself.
You’ll paddle directly from your SUP session to the sauna pontoon without ever leaving the water. Easily accessible from Dublin city centre by DART, bus, bike, or car.
