Merrion Strand

Most people only ever pass this place on the DART between Booterstown and the crossing at Merrion Gates. That incidentally is where you can access the beach area. You get a lot of photographers here getting shots of the wildlife and also of the Dublin city skyline.
It often gets a bad smell on sunny days because of Booterstown marsh… but other than that it is a nice place to look at as you pass… or if yo take the time to visit with a camera or for a quiet walk

This a beach near Blackrock. It’s usually not packed with people and has good views for the most part. It attracts a lot of wildlife which makes it a nice place to gather your thoughts.
It’s a sandy beach and is kept very clean.
