About Brittas Bay
Brittas Bay is a coastal holiday and residential locality on County Wicklow’s east coast, south of Wicklow town and north of Arklow, centred on its broad sandy beach and surrounding countryside. The area has a relaxed, predominantly low-density feel, with many homes used seasonally alongside permanent residences. Brittas Bay Beach is the defining amenity, offering long walks, swimming and watersports, while Cara Park provides a recognised local recreational space. Everyday shopping and a wider choice of cafés, pubs, restaurants, schools and services are generally found in nearby Arklow, Wicklow town and smaller neighbouring settlements such as Redcross. Road access is the principal commuting option, with the M11 providing connections north towards Dublin and south towards Gorey and Wexford via nearby junctions. Local bus services operate along the main coastal and N11 corridors, though residents typically rely on a car for school runs, larger shopping trips and commuting. Primary-school provision is available in surrounding villages, while secondary education is concentrated in Arklow and Wicklow town. The locality suits residents seeking a quieter seaside setting, with golf, GAA and other community activities available across the surrounding Wicklow and Arklow area.
