Bayside (Cois Bá in Irish) is a residential suburb of Dublin, Ireland. It is located close to the sea, about 10km north-east of the city's centre. Built in the 1970s, it is situated between Kilbarrack, Baldoyle and Sutton. Bayside, which was built under Dublin City Council, was later moved to Fingal County Council's area. Bayside is on the main coastal road from the city centre to Howth, and easily accessible from Dublin city using the Dublin Area Rapid Transit (DART)[1] suburban rail system, with its own station, and by Dublin Bus routes 17A, 31, 32, 32A, 32B and 105.

Falling within the postal code Dublin 13, Bayside comprises Sarto, Verbena, Alden, Sutton Park and the various Bayside Boulevards, and is built up around a shopping and civic centre. Most property in the area is two story terraced or semi-detached housing with two or three bedrooms and front and back gardens. Plans to build a multi-story apartment complex at the location of the current shopping centre car-park are currently (2006-2007) being resisted by local residents.

Bayside was a planned development on part of the lands of the large old district of Kilbarrack, whose largest settlement lay near the centre of the new area. Kilbarrack's historic church and graveyard (shown below) lie about two-thirds along Bayside's seafront, towards the road junction which marks the beginning of Sutton and Baldoyle. Bayside has one primary school, Schoil Mhuire agus Iosef, and is serviced by a number of post-primary schools in nearby districts.

Among its former residents are Ronan Keating of Boyzone and Brian Duffy of the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey team.
