Skerries South Beach

About Skerries South Beach

Skerries South Strand is a long sandy beach approximately 2.5km in length with low dunes behind the strandline in the centre and to the south of the designated bathing water. The beach is accessible along its length from the footpath / promenade that runs parallel to the beach. There are three islands visible off the coast. 19th century Rockabill lighthouse, which was automated just recently, is approx. 16km offshore.

A visit to this classic seaside town is like walking into a picture-perfect scene: friends enjoy coffee while taking in the view of the adjacent islands and the famous Rockabill Lighthouse, while couples stroll hand in hand along the length of the promenade.
On warm weekends, it seems like the entire city of Dublin decamps to this picture-perfect beach for a getaway, returning only after the sun sets.
