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

    Seapoint isn't a beach, eh ? The clue is in the name missus.

    Apart from sea, sand, rock pools, life guards, changing rooms, toilets, a DART station (actually 2), yellow buoy marked swimming areas and several slips for launching small craft and kayaks, what would your criteria be for being a beach ?

    Yours,

    Annoyed of Seapoint.

    p.s. technically having 2 DART stations isn't necessary for a beach, but it sure makes for an easily accessible beach.

    Take your annoyance elsewhere ok?.

    I'd avoid portmarnick, its bad now with all the teens going to drink there at the weekend, I would opt for sandymount, but rush is a lovely beach and very quite, the 33 bus would leave you into the village, just 10 minutes from the beach

    Sheesh, it was just a joke. The basic question to Miss Fluff stands though - if Seapoint isn't regarded as a beach, what are her criteria ? Without knowing them it will be hard to answer the question.

    Kiliney Beach right by the dart station is alright or Whiterocks on the Vico road about 10 minutes walk back up the road from the dart station.

    Greystones is alright as well, just south of the Town.

    I've encountered quite a few little scumbags, on the rob, on Killiney beach throughout the years. Puts me off going there. Personally speaking, of course!

    I don't go there too often but the beaches in Kiliney are just about the only beaches in Dublin where I haven't encountered plenty of scumbags!

    Very nice, but you really felt the need to drag up a 2 month old thread to post this?

    Permanent ban for you

    The north beach in Rush is good too. If travelling by bus, get off at the cricket club on the road to Skerries after Rush village and it's a short walk from there. Nice bar in the cricket club too if it's open...

    Not your ornery onager
