Wind / swell · Dublin Bay
Wind, spray, soft sand near channels and distance from the car are the practical hazards. The Sutton end floods fast with a dangerous current; never enter the deep, soft mud in the back channels behind the strand. Do not drive onto soft strand without local knowledge. Bull Island reserve rules matter: stay off sensitive areas, give birds room, and leave no bait litter. Fog or evening darkness can make the return route confusing across featureless sand.
