Where Is North Beach Located and How Accessible Is It?

North Beach Touring Caravan & Motor Home Park is in Rush, Co. Dublin (Eircode K56HN63), set just off the N1 and M1 — a positioning the park itself highlights as ideal for Dublin Airport arrivals and Dublin Port ferry connections. It suits touring caravans and motor homes looking for a coastal stopover or short stay on Ireland's east coast, with direct access to a sandy beach. Note that the park is currently listed as closed, and tents, awnings, twin-axle touring caravans and commercial vehicles are not accepted.

Where exactly is it?

• Address: Rush, Co. Dublin, K56HN63
• Region: North County Dublin, on the Irish Sea coast
• Setting: A sheltered bay with cliffs, a Martello tower and a small traditional fishing harbour nearby

Rush is a coastal town in Fingal, north of Dublin city. The park describes itself as family owned and managed, with a personal welcome for guests.

How accessible is it for arrivals?

The park sits just off the N1 and M1, which makes it a practical first or last stop for:

• Dublin Airport arrivals — the airport is north of the city, on the same side as the M1 corridor
• Dublin Port ferry connections — reachable via the Dublin road network

Because these are the park's own stated access points rather than measured drive times, treat the convenience as directional: it is positioned on the correct side of Dublin for both the airport and the ferry port, without crossing the city centre.

Getting there by road

1. Approach via the N1/M1 corridor north of Dublin.
2. Follow signs for Rush, Co. Dublin.
3. Use Eircode K56HN63 for navigation to the park entrance.

What's on the doorstep?

• Beach access: Direct access with a 200-metre frontage onto a sandy beach, within a cove enclosed by cliffs
• Beach length: Around 400 metres of sandy beach described by the park
• Landmarks: Cliffs, a Martello tower and a small fishing harbour
• Views: Most pitches are described as having panoramic views over the Irish Sea

Practical points before you plan around it

Facilities listed include showers, electricity points, a kitchen for dish washing, and direct beach access. The park also lists on-site Thai massage and a wood-fired Finnish sauna as available amenities.

Is it a good base for Dublin?

It depends on your trip:

• Good fit if you are arriving by ferry or airport and want a coastal first/last night, you tour by caravan or motor home, and you want beach access without driving into Dublin.
• Less suitable if you use a tent, need to arrive outside 12 PM–9:00 PM, or are travelling in a commercial vehicle or twin-axle caravan.
• Check first: the park is shown as currently closed, so confirm opening dates and pitch availability before routing your trip around it.
