“I left when I was 19 years old but I always had this thing of wanting to make something there,” says Sharon Horgan, co-writer, executive producer and star of Apple TV+’s lauded series Bad Sisters, which was filmed in Ireland.
Bad Sisters centres on family, coercive control and survival – all under the welcome veil of Irish humour and comedic relief that’s sure to have you hooked from the very beginning. Season 2 picks up the story of the Garvey sisters two years after the death of Grace’s abusive husband. The ladies have moved on, but the past has a funny way of catching up with you…

The leading ladies, Eve Hewson, Eva Birthistle, Sarah Greene, Anne-Marie Duff and Sharon Horgan are back as the sisters with a big secret. Expect to see plenty of other familiar faces, including Daryl McCormack as insurance investigator Matt, who knows more than he should. They’ll be joined by veteran Irish actor Fiona Shaw playing a suspicious neighbour determined to uncover the truth.
Horgan brings the camera to several seaside gems along Dublin’s coastline including the pretty villages of Malahide and Skerries and the iconic Forty Foot bathing place in Sandycove. We take a closer look…
Malahide, County Dublin
Malahide
With its idyllic setting and coastal views, it’s no wonder the North Dublin village of Malahide stars in the show. It’s popular with day-tripping Dubliners who come to enjoy the Georgian architecture, marina, beach and great little local cafés and pubs.
And then of course there’s Malahide Castle and Gardens, an 800-year-old medieval wonder set on beautiful parkland grounds that also feature a butterfly house, walled garden and fairy trail. If trains are your thing, visit the nearby Casino Model Railway Museum, which is located inside an adorable thatched cottage.
Forty Foot bathing place, Sandycove, County Dublin
Forty Foot
“You’re seeing a part of Ireland that hasn’t really been shown before on film,” says Sharon of this iconic South Dublin swimming spot. The Forty Foot acts as an integral part of the series, serving as a meeting point where the sisters plot murder. The traditional Christmas morning swim is played out on screen as brave souls brace the freezing waters with the promise of Christmas dinner afterwards.
Sandycove is home to the Martello Tower which famously features in the first chapter of the great writer's masterpiece, Ulysses. Joyce himself spent several nights in the tower in 1904! Today, it's the James Joyce Tower and Museum. Admission is free and it's a great chance for book lovers to experience a bit of literary history.
The seaside suburb of Dun Laoghaire is just a short walk away. Join the locals for a stroll down the pier and then go for coffee and a “99” ice cream at Teddy’s Ice Cream, which has been a much-loved treat since 1950.
Skerries Mills, Skerries, County Dublin
Skerries
Some of the series was filmed around the town of Skerries in North Dublin, home to two beaches, windmills and endless water activities. Skerries Watersports offers stand-up paddle boarding, kitesurfing, kayaking and windsurfing. On land, enjoy the Skerries Coastal Trail, a walk that takes in the Martello Tower and the harbour.
Don't miss Skerries Mills, a unique heritage centre complete with two working windmills, a café and a craft shop. A hidden gem is Ardgillan Castle and Gardens. Bask in the views of the Irish Sea from the spectacular gardens or savour afternoon tea in the 18th century country-style house.
