Brittas Bay South Beach
About Brittas Bay South Beach
Brittas Bay South is the quieter end of Wicklow's famous dune-backed beach, a Blue Flag strand of pale golden sand and marram dunes. Lifeguarded in summer, it offers long walks and gently shelving water, with dogs welcome on lead year-round. An easy escape from Dublin, swimming is best kept within the flagged area on this large beach.
