This beach in the Dublin area is my favorite! It's extremely easy to reach by car, making it ideal for chilly or rainy days, or when you're with an elderly person who doesn't want to walk a long sandy path. One of the enjoyable aspects is being able to spot the adorable seals poking their heads out of the water in the evening, even without binoculars! Additionally, the neighborhood has an incredible atmosphere with charming local shops and a wide variety of fantastic restaurants to explore. Surprisingly, there were plenty of swimmers in the water, even at 8pm in the evening! If you find yourself in Dublin, be sure to visit this beach.
