Brittas Bay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brittas Bay in County Wicklow, Ireland is a 4km stretch of beach which is famous as it is the closest beach to Dublin and therefore is the most frequented beach by residents of the capital of Ireland during the summer.
Brittas, as it is commonly known (although this does clash with another place on the Dublin / Kildare / Wicklow border which is actually called Brittas), has been a summer holiday home for Dubliners since the second half of the 20th century. It brings together a mix of permanent residents and people who come down on sunny days to relax on the beach.
The busiest time of year in Brittas Bay is the public holiday on the first weekend in August (the August Bank Holiday) which brings hundreds of people down from Dublin to camp on the beach or in the dunes.
