Things to do in Greystones

Activities, attractions and tours

We took the Dart from Dublin to Greystones, a coastal town south of the city, and walked to Brey. The Cliff Walk is about 7 kilometres long, follows the coastline and boasts some of the most amazing views of the East Coast. It was awesome! It was also wet and wild and one of our favorite adventures in Dublin.

Greystones Marina provides a perfect setting to sit and relax for a while.
While taking a picturesque train ride from Greystones back into Dublin, I was thinking how pretty the Brayhead white cliffs are until I realized they're just covered in bird poo.
Strolling along the rocky beach shore of Greystones, breathing in the fresh air, is a perfect way to spend a relaxing day trip away from Dublin.
