This is a gorgeous walk to do. Half hour each way between Donabate and Portrane. There is a rough path at the edge of the coast. This has been blocked by fencing and warnings as it might be hazardous. But there is a pathway inside the wall and this is safe and I think better. You still get the sound if the sea and you can see it over the wall as it is not a high wall. The path curves and so you don't feel as if you are walking a long way. There are not many inclines and so is good for a beginner. Both Portrane and the end at Donabate have public toilets at the end of the pathway. Mayne get a coffee from a coffee truck or the hotel either end as a reward for your efforts.

The day trip started off well. Parking was sufficient and I grabbed my camera and headed to the beach. People were in swimming and it was warm and sunny. I was on tje phone to my girlfriend in Spain telling her it was almost like being back home. Then in a matter of minutes a flash and a crack and the rain came down. We witnessed what insurers would describe as an Act Of God. The heavans opened and I was soaked. I might was well have been in the sea given how drenched I was. The only positive outcome was a lovely photo of a double rainbow. Looking forward to heading home to Spain and constant sun and warmth.

After dark 🌊 love this beach definitely worth the travel, very quiet at night. Probably best to park close to the barriers where your car can be seen under the lights. I’ve never had any trouble or car problems here 🤞 there is a hotel right beside this beach which has car parking and plenty of lights to see where you’re going.

Best walk in Dublin cul de sac spacious car park. Sneakers best as path is a bit stoney. Spectacular views of the Sugarloaf, Howth, Lambey Island and towers. Nearest shop for coffees icecream is Grogans on the road up from Portrane. The Brook pub is about a half km in the same direction

Absolutely gorgeous beach and walk. We came over when the tide was low and had a great time finding little crabs and shrimps in rocks. The views are sooo beautiful as well. There are few parkings near the beach - one is paid and just next to it - the free one
