    I would avoid malahide,I hear howth is pretty empty now,but for awesome fun you should go for a swim in the dodder in tallaght.....its not a beach but im sure you will find scantilly clad women around:D......and die from whatever is in that water.

    I like the beach at Donabate. It's a bit of a walk from the dart station but is well worth it. Much cleaner than most of the other beaches near the city itself

    So I've been suggested, donabate, portmarnok, bettystown and sutton so far, now to try and find out which is best!

    Sutton beach is my favourite. The tides there can be dangerous at times though (they come in from all sides) so have your wits about you. It's such a gorgeous beach though, definitely recommend it.

    Thanks, 2 votes for sutton!

    I am not too far off being a lifeguard but will be with a new swimmer so maybe a safe place would be best, I'll let her doggy paddle at the shore!

    Pormarnock by a mile. Miles of spotless beach and dunes. Safe swimming, no crazy currents and arelatively shallow sea, plus two life guard stations plus spotlessly clean toilets.

    its where everyone goes,its a lovely beach to go to but all the scumbags tend to go there,although you can laugh at foreign women in bra's rather than a bikini top :pac:

    I've always liked Loughshinny, once you move away from the fishing boats it's really lovely.

    seapoint near dun laoghaire is the best place for swimming in dublin, not a beach in the strictest sense but safe clean and for the most part skanger free

    burrow beach in sutton.

    bull island isn't a "good beach" but is good for dog walking :)

    Another vote for Portmarnock, although it lies behind Kilmuckridge beach as the nicest beach I've been to in Ireland.

    I was out at Portmarnock today chilling with a mate.

    Being a dub my whole life, I can't understand how I've never been there before! Quality spot - if you aren't too keen on sand, one can simply lie on the grass. Poifect.

    Its a pity rthat after bank holidays and very warm days Portmarnock beach looks like a tip head filled with beer bottles, boxes, bbq's towels and other crap that the scum of the city dont bother putting in the bins

    Any good ones on the Southside goys? Seapoint isn't a beach and Sandymount Strand can be a bit hit and miss. Any recommendations?
