Tyrella Beach

Tyrella Beach is a two-kilometre stretch of golden sand within Dundrum Bay in County Down, backed by mature dunes and a designated conservation area. The beach feels enclosed and peaceful, tucked away from busier coastal routes with the Mourne Mountains providing a dramatic backdrop to the south. The combination of wide sand, dune system, and mountain views creates a setting that feels far more remote than its accessible location suggests.

Dogs are welcome year-round on this lovely dog friendly beach, and the wide low-tide sands provide excellent off-lead territory with the Mournes as a constant, stunning companion. The dune system behind the beach offers sheltered walking with rich scenting among the marram grass, and the sand provides firm, comfortable ground for dogs of all ages. The peaceful atmosphere and year-round access make this a reliable choice for County Down dog walkers, and the mountain backdrop ensures every visit feels like something special.
