The district as a whole occupies the greater part of the peninsula of [[Howth Head]], which forms the northern boundary of [[Dublin Bay]], and includes the island of [[Ireland's Eye]], which holds multiple natural protection designations.

Howth has been settled since prehistoric times, and features in Irish mythology. A [[fishing village]] and small trading port from at least the 14th century, Howth has grown to become a busy and affluent suburb of Dublin, with a mix of suburban residential development, wild hillside and heathland, golf courses, cliff and coastal paths, a small quarry and a busy commercial fishing port.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Moloney|first=Marita|title=Ireland's most expensive streets revealed in new report|url=https://www.newstalk.com/news/more-than-600-homes-worth-e1m-and-over-sold-this-year-1121450|access-date=2022-02-02|website=Newstalk|language=en}}</ref> The only neighbouring district on land is [[Sutton, Dublin|Sutton]].
