Burrow Beach, Sandy beach in Sutton, County Dublin, Ireland.
Burrow Beach is a sandy beach in Sutton stretching about 1.2 kilometers with extensive dunes along the northern side. At low tide, views open toward Lambay Island and across the surrounding coastal landscape.
The beach is part of a natural landform connecting the mainland to Howth Head, created through geological processes over thousands of years. This formation developed from natural sediment buildup along this Irish coast.
Locals call this spot the Hole in the Wall beach after a natural rock opening nearby. This traditional name shows how the community has long connected to this stretch of coast.
The beach has a lifeguard station monitored on weekends in June and daily from July through August. Visitors should check opening times and pay attention to the tides when planning their visit.
The dune system here acts as a natural barrier between the beach and the residential areas behind it. These sand formations provide habitat for rare coastal plants and support local wildlife.
