Best Beach in Bray

"On the Southside choose from Sandymount beach, Sandycove and Seapoint, popular with local sea swimmers. Seapoint is home to a Martello tower that's now the headquarters of the Genealogical Society of Ireland. On the Northside you have Dollymount beach, a 5-km long stretch set to the backdrop of Dublin's Poolbeg Chimneys and Howth Head, and is surrounded by the North Bull Island Nature Reserve."

"A little trip away from Dublin City Centre, it’s the perfect romantic location for beach strolls or some sunset portraits. It has the tall grass, sea air and the iconic Poolbeg Towers as the quintessentially-Dublin backdrop!. A great spot for an engagement session, an elopement or a lovely portrait spot on a wedding day if you’re driving in from the south side."

"This is the perfect place to go to if you want to capture water and nature. Moreover, going to this beach is a very fun thing to do when you're in Dublin. So it's not only great for photography, but you'll also have an amazing day if you go here."

"This museum is located in St. Enda’s Park in Dublin and offers insight into the home of the Irish patriot, Patrick Pearse."

"This museum brings before us the pain and suffering of the people in The Great Hunger. The seasonal museum is well worth a visit if you are planning a visit to Dublin. Address: 2nd Floor, Stephens Green Shopping Centre, Dublin, D02 VX38, Ireland"

"I actually didn't think the burgers could get any better until I visited the other day a little tipsy and all of my half-drunken "munchies" dreams came true. BuJo is a casual (yet oh so clever) burger joint in Sandymount that brings the humble burger to a whole new level, with the attention to detail making this simple restaurant instantly impressive. 100% Irish grass-fed beef, locally sourced and ultra sustainable produce, and chargrilled meats make up the menu."

"The menu is simple, there's only two or three things to choose from but everything you order is made to perfection and every burger is picture-perfect. The juiciest, most flavoursome meat ever."

"Eoin Cluskey is a bread obsessive, and he pays tribute to all things doughy at a cafe tucked under a railway bridge near Science Gallery Dublin. The team stone mills flour, then ferments and bakes delicious sourdough breads. Morning buns are a great start to the day and there are tasty, creative lunch options depending on what’s in season."

"This Pearse Street café has its own on-site mill so you know it's gonna be good.They make some of the tastiest bread I've had in the city. The bakery is also a café that serves up breakfast and lunch, as well as selling bread and pastries to go. They also have a delish takeaway pizza menu from 5pm to 10pm."

"A luxe, intimate, and sophisticated atmosphere with low lights, rich wood panelling, and a host with the arcane knowledge to navigate 1824's vast hand-picked list of top-shelf whiskey, Champagne, wine, and premium cocktails."

"Temple BarIf you fancy going to a proper Irish pub in Temple Bar, skip the ones along the main drag of the district. Sure, with the cobbled streets outside and the strains of trad music through the doors, they might look legit. But they’re as touristy as they come, and some of them sneak up the price of a pint after 11pm (when you’re less likely to be checking your bill)."

"A few others to consider are The Palace Bar, a traditional Victorian-era pub, The Brazen Head which is believed to be Ireland’s oldest pub dating back to 1198, and Buskers which offers a more contemporary bar atmosphere with modern cocktails. Dublin Itinerary Day 3"
