About Brittas Bay
Brittas Bay is a coastal holiday and residential locality in east County Wicklow, between Arklow and Redcross and close to Blainroe and Kilbride. Its defining feature is the long sandy Brittas Bay beach, backed by dunes and open countryside, giving the area a relaxed, outdoors-oriented feel rather than a traditional village-centre atmosphere. Day-to-day living is generally quiet and car-dependent, with many homes used as permanent residences, holiday properties or seasonal accommodation. Families have access to primary schools in nearby Kilbride, Redcross and Avoca, while secondary-school and broader shopping trips usually involve Arklow or Wicklow town. The N11/M11 corridor provides the main commuting route towards Arklow, Wicklow, south Dublin and other east-coast towns, although local public transport is more limited than in larger settlements. Local services are focused around the beach area and nearby villages, with pubs, cafés and restaurants available within a short drive rather than concentrated in Brittas Bay itself. Cara Park provides a recognisable local amenity, while the beach, coastal walks, golfing and countryside offer the main leisure attractions. Arklow supplies the nearest substantial range of supermarkets, healthcare, schools, retail and everyday services.
