Greystones

Greystones is a coastal town and small seaside resort in County Wicklow, Ireland. It is located on Ireland’s east coast, 8 km (5.0 mi) south of Bray and 27 km (17 mi) south of Dublin (it is within the Greater Dublin Area). The town’s name is derived from a one kilometer stretch of coastal grey rocks situated between two beaches; this rocky area is known as the sea front.

The harbour area and the railway station are at the northern and southern ends respectively. The North Beach, which begins at the harbour, is a stony beach and some of its length is overlooked by the southern cliffs of Bray Head, which are subject to erosion. The South Beach is a broad expansive sandy beach about one kilometer long. It is a Blue Flag beach and receives many visitors and tourists, mainly in the summer.
