Vast pale-sand beach backed by grassy dunes, popular for swimming & walking, with seaside cafes.

Beach with powdery sand, dunes & summer lifeguards, used by families, horse riders & dog walkers.

👍👍 Carpark was small enough but a minute back the road there was a field opened up for parking. Plenty of room. Clean toilets and outdoor shower in the carpark. Disabled parking and beach wheelchair available on request for free. The beach was beautiful, busy but plenty of room as it goes on forever....

👍👍 Portmarnock Beach is a Blue Flag beach in North County Dublin. Fingal Council have provided excellent changing facilites, public toilets, and patrolling lifeguards at setbtimes during day. Best time to visit is before 11am and after 5pm on weekends as its gets very crowded in summer months. The beac...

👍👍 Amazing beach that you should definitely visit if you're planning a vacation in Dublin during the summer season (lasts around a week, but still 😂) People are nice and relaxed, there are shops nearby so you can buy youself snacks and water (or whatever you like) and although it gets moderately crowd...

👍👍 Amazing place. Clean beach. you can take your dog there. Big carpark.

👍👍 It is lovely beach, liked it so much! Went on the Sunday evening,so it was very pieceful and quite. Much better than Brittas Bay for me.

👍👍 One of the best beach in Dublin. It is a soft white sand beach. You will find it crowded on summer weekends. Best time to visit is during the hide tide period. Best beach for family weekend day along with kids. There are couple of public washrooms and parking for cycles available at the entrance Th...

😐 Its a lovely beach, but there's a distinct lack of investment in the area that drags the atmosphere down drastically. There's an utter lack of parking options, there's closed down and ruined buildings surrounding the entrance, and what amenities there are feel like they've not evolved in the last 20...

This sand & rock beach with a sidewalk is a popular swimming destination for locals.

👍👍 I love to go for a swimming in this place, the water is brilliant, not cold as I expected! If the weather is nice can be very busy and the perfect place to jump to the water too. You can park around the area and walk to the beach.

👍 Ballinesker Beach is place where Steven Spielberg shot the film “Saving Private Ryan” in 1997, very very long and nice.

👍👍 Lovely beach, clean and well looked after. I would recommend the cliff walk going north towards Loughshinny and the Martello tower.

👍👍 Swim here most mornings. There's a great social aspect here and a lovely bunch of regulars who are happy to offer visitors information about tides and currents.

👍👍 Beautiful long beach that stretches for miles. It wouldn't be the deepest beach to go swimming, but it is ideal for paddle boarding when the weather isn't too rough. Some nice little coffee shops in Laytown and Bettystown if you are looking for a hot cup the pick you up. Sunrises are amazing here, e...

At low tide, this stretch of coastline features a wide area of sand popular for leisure walks.

👍👍 3 generations of my family and I spent many many hours at Dollymount. We swam, walked the length of the beach , took picnics down there ,and enjoyed it so much. Living in Smoky Birmingham going to stay with Nana in Raheny was better than some of my most exotic holidays Mexico Saudi Arabia xxx
