Leamore Strand is a beach on the County Wicklow coast, situated between the villages of Newcastle and Kilcoole, approximately three kilometers south of Greystones. It is a safe and big beach. The beach is located near Six Mile Point and the locality known as The Breaches. For paddlers, this suggests a coastal launch with open exposure to the Irish Sea. The area is near Newcastle Aerodrome, which is located on Sea Road in Newcastle. The beach's position means it is exposed to prevailing winds and swell from the Irish Sea, which can create surf and shore-break conditions. The surf forecast for the Dublin Area, which includes Leamore Strand, indicates typical wave heights can range from 0 to 1 foot, though conditions are variable. There is a walking trail connecting Newcastle Airfield to Greystones that passes near the beach, indicating public access. The nearby landmarks include Druids Glen golf course to the northwest and Kilcoole railway station to the north, which serves the local villages. The beach is part of the local biodiversity monitoring area, with new ecological records having been made in the vicinity. As a beach launch, paddlers should be prepared for a carry from parking areas, which are indicated to exist but whose specific location and capacity are not detailed. Tide levels will significantly affect the distance to the waterline and the character of the launch zone. From Leamore Strand, paddlers can explore the coastline north towards Greystones and Bray Head or south towards Wicklow, with the Greystones to Wicklow trail noted as having a large free parking lot in the area, potentially useful for trip staging. Water temperatures in the Irish Sea follow a seasonal pattern, being coldest in winter and mildest in late summer, though specific averages are not provided. The beach's size and description as safe suggest it can accommodate multiple users, but paddlers must always be vigilant for changing surf conditions, wind, and other marine traffic.
