Enjoy the flora and fauna by the beach. 

The long stony stretch of Killiney Beach has great views of Bray Head, Dalkey Island and Sorrento Terrace. The beach is suitable for swimming and bathing and has facilities for disabled users.

The beach can be accessed from the car park with a walkway and ramps and handrails are also present in other areas. Also ideal for walkers and picnics, you might even see some bottlenose dolphins as they have been known to gather here occasionally.

Killiney Hill Park (formerly Victoria Hill) is a jewel in the crown of the seaside town with outstanding panoramic views, particularly from its peak (170 metres above sea level).

There are plenty of paths around the park and around half is covered by mature woodland. It is a popular spot for walks, picnics and more. 

The 16th century obelisk at the summit is a prominent local landmarkand the inscription reads:

‘Last year being hard with the poor, walks about these hills and this were erected by John Mapas, June 1742.’

Other structures in the park include a Victorian pyramid, the Wishing Stone (dated 1852) and another smaller obelisk known as Boucher’s obelisk and more.
