    Howth, Portmarnock and a bit further out you'd have Donabate. Brittas bay is less than hour away via m50/m11 and turn left Jack whites pub.

    Portmarnock and Donabate are the best you'll find closest to Dublin.

    +1 on this, also tends to be a lot quieter than the others mentioned. I dont think a lot of people know about it and even driving along Burrow Road you would never think there is a beach behind the row of houses along the road.

    Burrow beach is dangerous for swimming, fyi. Grand for kitesurfing or a day out and paddling, but very dangerous currents in the water and you won't find locals swimming there.

    Not recommended for swimming. For many reasons.

    not really - south of Wicklow are the closest properly sandy beaches - Silver Strand, Magheramore and Brittas.
