THE BEACH IN FRONT OF THE RAILWAY STATION
Balbriggan boasts a beautiful sandy beach, locally known as the Front Strand, that stretches for miles along the coastline. While the beach is in close proximity to the harbour, it is distinct in its character and offerings. The harbour primarily serves as a working port and marina, whereas the Front Strand is a haven for leisure and recreation.
The beach's main features include its vast expanse of golden sand, perfect for sunbathing, picnicking, and leisurely strolls. During low tide, rock pools emerge, fascinating young explorers with their hidden marine life. The calm waters are generally safe for swimming, although it's always advised to check local conditions and tide times.
The Front Strand is considered child-friendly, with plenty of space for kids to run and play. The shallow waters near the shore provide a safe environment for paddling and splashing around. However, adult supervision is always recommended, especially during high tide or when the sea is rough.
Regarding dogs, the Front Strand has restrictions in place during the summer months, typically from June to September. During this period, dogs are not allowed on the beach between 11 am and 7 pm. Outside these hours and during the off-season, dogs are welcome but must be kept under control and on a lead.
