Rush, South Beach

Rush South Beach lies at Rush in County Dublin, on the north county coast where a string of sandy beaches runs up towards the Meath border.

Backed by dunes and facing the Irish Sea, it is a straightforward, unfussy beach used for walking, swimming and watersports through the summer. Rush itself is a market gardening and fishing town with harbour, shops and places to eat. Check local notices for lifeguard cover and bathing water information before swimming.
