Beach Bye Laws 2012

In order to make the beach area safe and pleasant for everybody, a number of restrictions are in place relating to litter, dogs, jet-skis and noise. They are less restrictive on dog owners and recognise the needs of all beach users by achieving a balance between dog owners, the general public and swimmers.

Under the Beach Bye Laws 2012 the following restrictions in relation to dogs apply:

Seapoint Beach

Bathing Area - NO dogs allowed all year round

Sandycove Beach

Bathing Area - NO dogs allowed all year round

Outside Bathing Area - 10.00 am to 7.00 pm - dogs must be on a leash all year round

Killiney Beach

Bathing Area - NO dogs allowed from 1st June to 15th September from 10.00 am to 7.00 pm

At all other times in the bathing area dogs are required to be on a leash.

The above restrictions do not apply to guide dogs for the blind..
