Rogerstown Estuary, Nature reserve and Special Area of Conservation in County Dublin, Ireland.
The estuary spans 3.63 square kilometers, featuring saltwater marshes, wet meadows, and riverine shallows crossed by a railway causeway.
The Dublin-Belfast railway causeway and bridge, constructed in the 1840s, divided the estuary into two distinct sections that remain today.
The site connects to Irish folklore through the legend of Goban Saor, whose magical axe could control the tides at the nearby Turvey shore.
Visitors can observe wintering wildfowl and migratory birds from multiple viewing points along the designated walking paths near the estuary.
The narrow mouth of the estuary creates such a small gap between Portrane and Rush beaches that crossing would take under a minute without water.
