Killiney
About Killiney
Killiney is a long Blue Flag beach on the south Dublin coast, a sweep of sand and shingle beneath Killiney Hill with views to the Wicklow mountains and Dalkey Island. Lifeguarded in summer and reached easily by DART, it is a scenic, popular beach for walking and bathing. Sturdy shoes help on the shingle; swimming is best within the lifeguarded area.
