Mornington Beach is a picturesque stretch of coastline backed by rolling sand dunes, the beach offers visitors a serene and tranquil setting to enjoy the natural beauty of the Irish coast.

Mornington Beach is known for its fine, golden sand and gentle waves, making it a popular destination for swimming, sunbathing, and beachcombing. The beach is well-maintained and clean, with access points and parking available for visitors. The water quality at Mornington is generally good, though it is monitored regularly by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure safety for bathers.

The Mornington Peninsula is home to an extensive system of sand dunes, known as "The Cups", which provide a stunning natural backdrop to the beach. These dunes are a protected habitat, home to a variety of plant and animal species. Visitors can explore the dunes on designated walking trails, taking in the panoramic views of the coastline and the nearby Boyne estuary.

Gorgeous beach located at the mouth of the River Boyne. As well as the phenomenal views of the estuary, you can enjoy an exploration along the sand dunes where you'll discover a small lighthouse.
