Ennereilly Beach
About Ennereilly Beach
Ennereilly is a quiet strand on the stretch of coast between Brittas Bay and Arklow, reached by minor roads to a small free car park directly behind the beach — spaces are limited and it fills quickly on fine days, so this is one for those who like their sand undiscovered. Its real distinction is buried in that sand: flint scatters found at Ennereilly are among the earliest evidence of human activity anywhere in Ireland, a reminder that people have been drawn to this shore for thousands of years. It is not an EPA-monitored bathing water, so no official water-quality rating is published.
