What Is North Beach on northbeach.ie?

Updated

North Beach is a family-run touring caravan and motor home park in Rush, Co. Dublin, on Ireland's east coast. It accepts touring caravans and motor homes, offers pitches with views over the Irish Sea, and has direct access to a sandy beach. It is not a campsite for tents: tents, awnings, twin-axle touring caravans and commercial vehicles are all listed as not accepted. The site also hosts two on-site services — a Thai massage practice and a wood-fired sauna.

Where it is and what the location offers

The park sits just off the N1 and M1, which the site presents as convenient for Dublin Airport arrivals and Dublin Port ferry connections. Its address is Rush, Co. Dublin, K56HN63.

On the ground, the location gives guests:

  • Direct access to a sandy beach, with a 200-metre frontage and 400 metres of beach to step onto
  • A sheltered bay setting with cliffs, a Martello tower and a small traditional fishing harbour nearby
  • Panoramic sea views from most pitches, in what the site describes as a peaceful, secure park

The park is family owned and managed, and the site emphasises a personal welcome rather than a large commercial operation.

Who can stay — and who can't

The accepted and not-accepted list is specific, so check it before booking:

Accepted Not accepted

Motor homes Awnings
Dogs (on lead only) Twin-axle touring caravans

The site's own notice currently shows "Now Closed," so confirm current opening status before travelling.

Pitch rates

North Beach publishes 2026 pitch rates and describes them as transparent, with no hidden fees:

  • Single unit (up to 2 adults, or 1 adult and up to 2 children): €34 per adult per night
  • Extra adult: €17
  • Extra child: €10 per night

Rates are stated per adult per night, so cost scales with the number of adults in your party.

On-site services

Two independent services operate at North Beach:

Thai massage — "Authentic Thai Healing Arom Dee Thai Massage" is run by a certified Thai massage therapist, Nina, offering traditional Thai, deep tissue, hot stone and cupping treatments, Monday to Sunday, 10am to 8pm.

Wood-fired sauna — a traditional Finnish-style wood fired sauna on the beach at North Beach, Rush, presented as a way to relax and restore.

How to decide if it fits your trip

North Beach suits you if you travel by touring caravan or motor home, want a beachfront pitch with sea views, and value a small family-run park within reach of Dublin Airport or Dublin Port. It does not suit tent campers, anyone needing awning space, twin-axle caravan owners, or commercial vehicle drivers. Because reception hours are limited and check-in outside them is not possible, plan your arrival between 12 PM and 9:00 PM, and verify the park's current open status before setting out.
