Go North out of Dublin, keeping the harbour on your right. As you get closer there are clear sign posts for Dollymount Strand. You will probably also see kites flying if the weather is OK. Take the bigger road on to the island (not the wooden bridge). You can drive onto the beach. The beach is popular for all kinds of kiting. 15 min drive from Dublin city and 15 min drive from Dublin airport.
