Killiney Beach, known in Irish as Cill Iníon Léinín, is a popular seaside resort town and beach near the towns of Dalkey and Shankill, originally founded in the 11th century as Killiney Church. The beachfront area became an affluent resort town during the 19th century and offers a wide variety of outdoor recreation opportunities throughout the summer months, including swimming and watersports along its stony shoreline. Many Irish and European celebrities own homes nearby or flock to the resort town throughout the summer months for stunning views of nearby Bray Head, Dalkey Island, and Sorrento Terrace. Swimmers should note that the beach's waters increase in depth steeply near the shoreline and should exercise appropriate caution. Grassy areas are offered for picnics, and a Dublin Area Rapid Transit stop adjacent to the beach provides convenient access to Dublin's major tourist attractions.
