    Hi all,
    What beaches do people recommend?
    I'm in with Dublin but willing to travel within an hour.
    Looking for a nice sandy beach preferably with car park not too far away (2 kids and all they bring with them to consider!).
    Also good quality bathing water would be essential so the likes of shellybanks is a non runner.
    Thanks for any input.

    Portmarnock, Rush.
    Lovely big beaches, good water.
    Some parts of Killiney, the further South the Rockier it gets, still nice though.
