Brittas Bay,

Free car park now but toilets closed due to Covid and all bins are sealed off. Amazing beach.

From Facebook - Wicklow Co Council- “Campers and Camper Vans are not permitted to stay overnight in Brittas Bay North and South. Anybody attempting to camp or stay in a caravan will he moved on every evening from 7.30 starting Thursday 15th July.”

Do not park here! We parked here for two nights and the gate wasn’t locked on the first night so we thought we’d stay again. On the second night, a man came by at around 5pm and said he was locking the gates and they’d be open around 9am the next day (a Monday). Long story short, he never came to unlock the gate the next day, which was this morning. It’s now 12pm and we only got let out because a man from the council happened to drive down and saw us there. He told us that the car park is privately managed and during winter it is only open on weekends. So the man who said it’d be open Monday morning at 9 lied to us and was just going to leave us there for a week. With no shops close by and no drinking water onsite, this could have been disastrous. I wouldn’t chance staying here. The man from the council that let us out said that the company managing the car park were really unreliable, so I imagine this isn’t the first time this has happened. Avoid!

Parking cost €4. Campervans can stay over night but just note that the gates of the parking lot are locked at 9pm sharp and won't reopen until 8am Parking attendants will come around before locking up to double check that you are staying over night. It's a quiet place to stay for a night or 2 Direct access to the beach from pathways Toilet facilities, water (not for drinking) rubbish bins
