DutchGreat beaches to enjoy during your caravan & camping holiday in Ireland
As I write this blog it is currently 26°. Ireland is in the middle of a heatwave and we are loving it. What better time to experience some of the great beaches dotted around the coastline of Ireland. It is also a perfect time to take a caravan & camping holiday. Warm days, balmy nights the perfect recipe for sleeping under the stars. Why not take a few days away in one of Camping Ireland’s many member sites and take a trip to the beach.
Take a few days away, hook up the caravan, prepare the motorhome or pack-up the tent. Experience all that Ireland has to offer. And, if it’s too busy along the coast come in few kilometres where you will find plenty of quality approved caravan & camping parks to overnight.
Here are some of our favourite beaches around the coastline of Ireland:-
Co. Wicklow
Brittas Bay – 4km stretch of soft sand and sand dunes. It is an ideal area for bathing, walking or sailing. Click here for details on caravan & camping sites in Wicklow

Co. Kerry
Derrynane Beach – My personal favourite in the whole world!!! This is a sheltered sandy beach with a natural harbour. Access is by a narrow road off the Ring of Kerry which may not be very suitable for a caravan or motorhome. Better just to bring the car!
Banna Beach – Located just 7km from Tralee this again is a lovely sandy beach which extends for miles and is a walker’s paradise. The sand dunes here are a designated conservation area with rare plants and animals.
