Bray Harbour
Bray Harbour
Bray Harbour sits at the mouth of the River Dargle, roughly 20 km south of Dublin and the most northerly harbour in County Wicklow.
The Dargle flows along the harbour's north wall and maintains an outgoing current throughout the tidal cycle, making this a strictly tidal anchorage accessible only for a couple of hours either side of high water.
The harbour is small but active, used exclusively for marine leisure. Visiting boats should approach on a southwesterly course, keeping close to the north pier and well clear of the submerged south pier head.
Inside, local boats moor fore and aft and take to the hard at low water, so any extended stay requires a vessel able to take the ground. Landing stages are available on the north pier.
Bray Sailing Club manages moorings on the south side and is reported to be welcoming to visiting sailors.
