    I'm looking to head out for a dip in the sea on Sunday. Given the weather at the moment I'm sure the more popular spots will be pretty packed. Any suggestions for somewhere that wouldn't be too busy that's accessible by the Dart?

    Bit late now but as Killiney and Bray are both mobbed in good weather go in between to the unspoilt goodness that is Shankill. DART station 200 yards from the beach. I strolled down Saturday with the kids & we almost had it to ourselves.
    Stoney/rocky with spots of sand. Time it with the tides and there's some lovely sandy spots under the surface with no drop off to speak of.
    You can walk to Killiney from there if you want.

    As always, never swim alone, stick to the lifeguard patrolled areas...yada yada, yada.

    The Bull Wall is rarely very crowded also, though it's probably more for fairly good swimmers. You want to time it for around high tide though.
