The modern marina pier at Greystones, replacing the original Victorian harbour after the 2010s redevelopment. One of the most accessible fishing marks in Co. Wicklow and the home harbour of Greystones Ridge Angling Club. The outer pier wall produces wrasse, pollock and mackerel in summer; the inner harbour holds flounder, codling and small coalfish through winter. The harbour entrance is the productive zone, multiple local reports specify fishing at the entrance, away from the blocks. Now an established autumn squid (eging) venue. The pier is sheltered enough to fish in most weather, making it the go-to when beaches are blown out.
