Bettystown Beach, located in the picturesque east coast of County Meath, offers a delightful escape with its 5km stretch of sandy shoreline. Renowned for its scenic beauty and historical significance, it's a place where you can enjoy a tranquil walk or engage in the lively atmosphere of a popular seaside resort.
The beach is linked to the discovery of the Tara Brooch, an exquisite piece of ancient jewellery dating back to the 8th century, now housed in the National Museum of Ireland. While the beach is a hub for summer activities, visitors are advised to be mindful of water safety and parking regulations, especially during peak seasons. The beach's proximity to other attractions in the Boyne Valley makes it an ideal spot for a comprehensive day trip, offering a blend of leisure and exploration. For those planning a visit, parking is available at the Meath County Council Car Park, with a short walk leading to the beach.
