About Skerries
Skerries is a coastal town in north County Dublin, situated between Balbriggan and Lusk, with Rush and Loughshinny nearby. It has a distinctly seaside character, combining established residential streets and newer housing with a working harbour, beaches and attractive views across the Irish Sea. The town centre is compact and sociable, with independent shops, cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs, while the surrounding area remains relatively open and semi-rural. Families are well served by local primary and secondary schools, and commuters can use Skerries railway station for direct Dublin-bound services, alongside Dublin Bus routes and the M1 motorway from nearby junctions. Everyday shopping is covered by supermarkets and town-centre businesses, including Eurospar and C&T's Holmpatrick Supermarket. Residents have access to coastal walks, Red Island, Skerries Mills and local parks, including Central Park and open spaces around Town Parks Road and Selskar Rise. Brady's is a longstanding local pub and meeting place, while Well Fit Gym provides a convenient fitness option within the town. Skerries Sailing Club, GAA and other community and sporting organisations add to the strong local identity and active feel.
