Killiney Beach
May 2010
Killiney is a popular family beach and swimming spot on Dublin’s southside.
The beach itself is nothing to write home about, as it’s stony, hard to walk on and attracts flies in the summer. However, for swimmers Killiney has the advantage of having good depth to the water, even when the tide is out. You do, of course, need to be careful, especially with children, as a few metres from the shore you can be out of your depth.
Sometimes the water looks a bit murky, but its quality seems to be ok. Looking out to sea this is a nice place to swim, as nearby Sorrento Terrace looks well in the sunshine and various yachts regularly sail by.
In good summer weather this is a popular and busy spot. There is a good size car park, which has ok toilet facilities. The beach is buggy accessible and wheelchairs can get to a tarmacadam path alongside it.
Lifeguards are on duty during the summer months.
Directions
From Dublin city the best way to get here is by DART with the Killiney stop leaving you right beside the beach.
