Get directions from

Dublin Airport. From Drogheda take N1 south and in Julianstown get on R150 to Laytown. Super Loo beside the beach entrance and the Seaview Bar 200m from Laytown Railway station.

Rules:

None

No restrictions, just apply common sense and stay away from busy public areas. Locals always keep away from the parking area on Bettystown Beach - unless the beach is very quiet, but that's not too often. Laytown and Mosney Beach South of the nanny are the best options for all kiting - less/no cars and few other users.

Gilnas Lounge & Bar in Laytown, Seaview Bar at the beach entrance in Laytown. Relish Cafe (very good coffee shop, eatery, great wines), Coast Restaurant, Neptune Bar & Hotel, Mc Donaghs (Traditional thatched pub). For better nightlife go to Drogheda or Dublin, 30mins drive.
