The beach can also be reached along coast road R750 from Wicklow Town, 13 km south of Wicklow Head. The bathing area is approximately 1500m long and is approximately 0.12sq. km. in area. The beach is reached via parking area and with pathway/wooden decking down to the beach. Main features of the Bathing Type of Bathing Water Water: Brittas Bay Beach is a large, gently sloping open sandy beach backing onto hilly sand dune area. Flora/Fauna, Riparian Zone The beach forms part of the Buckroney-Brittas Dunes and Fen Special Area of Conservation (SAC 00729) and proposed Natural Heritage Area. The site comprises two main sand dune systems, Brittas Bay and Buckroney Dunes, connected on the coast by the rocky headland of Mizen Head. This site is important as an extensive sand dune/fen system with well developed plant communities. Along much of the higher parts of the beach, typical annual strandline vegetation occurs. Species such as Sea Rocket (Cakile maritima), Prickly Saltwort and Spear-leaved Orache are frequent in this zone, with the scarcer Yellow-horned Poppy present in places. The main dune ridges are dominated by Marram with herbaceous species such Sea Spurge, Sea Holly and Rest Harrow occurring throughout. The main dune ridges are well developed reaching heights of 10 m at Brittas. Several coastal habitats listed on the EU Habitats Directive, including two priority habitats - fixed dune and decalcified dune heath - are present. The area contains two legally protected plants Wild Asparagus, in its most northerly Irish station, and Meadow Saxifrage, as well as a number of other rare or scarce plant species; Green-flowered Helleborine, Bird’s-foot and Spring Vetch. The site provides habitat for some rare species of invertebrate and for the vulnerable Little Tern. Beyond the beach and dune area lie holiday home developments and residual properties to the west. There is no significant vegetation growing in the water off the beach other than some on rock outcrops in the south. Water Depth This sandy beach is considered shallow falling away gradually to depth. Tidal Range Arklow and Wicklow ports are the nearest locations for which tidal information is available. The beach at Brittas Bay South is close to Mizen Head, which is approximately equidistant from Arklow and Wicklow Ports. The tidal information for Brittas Bay South is estimated from this data. The tidal range is expected to be 1.4m. The mean high water spring tide could be expected to be 2.05m and the mean low water spring tide 0.65m. The mean high water neap tide is 1.75m and the mean low water neap tide is 1.0 m. The range between consecutive High and Low waters at a port changes over a full lunar month. When this Main features of the Bathing Water: range is at its greatest the tides are referred to as 'Spring tides' and when the range is at its smallest the tides are 'Neap tides'. The high tides at Britttas Bay South are about two hours earlier than the times for Dublin Port tides.

Sensitive Area The Buckroney-Brittas Dunes and Fen Special Area of Conservation (SAC 00729) and proposed Natural Heritage Area (pNHA) encompass the length of beach and part of its catchment to the west. Activities available at the The number of visitors during the bathing season is expected to be around 600 per day at busy weekends.

Water Bodies draining into Bathing Water: A small local stream rising 1500m to the northwest enters into the coastal waters to the south but often terminates before reaching the seawater in drier weather. Topography:The catchment consists of shallow sloping hills falling from a height of 35m in the northwest of the catchment. Soils, Subsoils, Bedrock: 80 % Gleys/20% Brown pods is the predominant soil group east of the coast road and coastal sand dunes to the east towards the bathing water. The subsoil in the beach area are wind blow sands with alluvium along the route local stream and some made ground in the west. Ordovician Metasediment is the bedrock type with fault line running east-west at the south of the catchment. The bedrock ranges from a locally important moderately productive aquifer in local zones with high-low vulnerability to pollution. Population Centres: The nearest population centres are Arklow and Wicklow Towns. There are 5 holiday home developments and along the R773 road west and several residential properties along the coast road south. There has 75 units and there are approx. 83 units in the park to the west. There is also a caravan park to south of the bathing water extraneous to the catchment.

Brittas Bay South is currently a designated blue flag status beach. Monitoring point details: The grid reference for the nominal bathing water monitoring point is E330650 N182470. The precise location of bathing water-monitoring point can vary depending on the tidal and weather conditions. Reason for selection of the The location of the bathing water sampling point is the location where most bathers are expected. monitoring point: Water quality assessment: The bathing water quality monitoring carried out at Brittas Bay South up to 2013 has shown consistently good water quality. However, in the 2013 bathing season, 25% of samples did not satisfy the EC Guide Value for E. Coli. Based on this data, Brittas Bay South has now been assigned sufficient status when assessed against the Bathing Water Directive 1976/160/EEC.ˢ From the end of 2014 season, the bathing water status will be assessed against the new criteria of the Bathing Water DirectiveˢijııĸİĸİEC concerning the management of bathingˢwater quality, over aˢrolling four-year period (2011-2014). Using the new criteria the bathing water monitoring data set for theˢperiodˢijıIJıĮijıIJĴġindicates excellent status, which suggests that assessment for the 2011-2014 period may also be excellent.ˢˢ 3.
