Access
Park at Killiney village or along Vico Road and reach the beach via the railway footbridge. DART to Killiney. Do not trespass on railway property except at the marked footbridge.
Tide
Dublin Port tables. South Dublin beach: flooding tide into a gentle onshore is the published Killiney pattern. Bray (Wicklow) sits just south of the county border with its own harbour guides on this site.
Safety
Steep shingle, railway behind, and dumpers in storms. Never cross tracks except at the footbridge. Swell can dump hard on this beach.
Tactics
Flood with a gentle onshore breeze for bass and flounder. Deep water close in means long casts are often unnecessary. Winter nights for codling and coalfish. Summer feathers when mackerel show.
