The place

About Laytown–Bettystown Beach

Laytown/Bettystown is a fine sand beach backing onto sand dunes. This official bathing section is distinct from Mornington at the north end of the same managed five-kilometre Meath strand. Public access is recorded, but water depth, levels, the usable shore and the final approach can change with weather and local conditions. Official information lists parking, toilets and seasonal lifeguard provision; check current availability and local notices before relying on them.
