About
Bray's shingle-and-sand beach runs along the seafront, with the south end of the promenade holding Blue Flag status. A long, open stretch facing the Irish Sea, popular for walks, swims, and sitting out on a warm day. Locals distinguish the cleaner Blue Flag South Promenade from the rest of the seafront.
