A great wee place for families. Safe beaches for kids and a new enclosed play centre has been recently added with lots of activities for children and where parents can relax. Plenty of bars with music and food along the seafront for young people. The town is 10min walk from the beach and Dublin is 45 mins away by train or bus. The main attraction is probably walking the mile-long promenade that begins (or ends) at the foot of Bray Head.

Town centre has lots of stores and loads of chemists and shoe shops! Nice range of cafes and bars. Great restaurants and bars on the seafront. Beautiful views from Bray Head. Well serviced with buses and the Dart if you want to go to Dublin.

Bray is a great base to see beautiful Co Wicklow - "The Garden of Ireland" Climb Bray Head; take short drive to Powerscourt House and Gardens and on to Powerscourt Waterfall. And beautiful Kilruddery house and Gardens also in Bray

Bray was easily reachable by public transport! Being very close to the tram station. The hotel had great food and the staff was friendly and efficient. The hotel room was giant with bay windows overlooking the ocean. The bathroom was huge too and overall we were delighted. There were lovely walks alongside the ocean on the quail and there were plenty of restaurants in the town. Transport to nearby towns was reasonable via taxi and the Powerscourt House and Gardens were lovely. The evening at Johnny Fox's Pub was so enjoyable. The music, dancing, service, and staff made for the perfect experience.

The Cliff Walk to Greystones: On a sunny day, you could believe you are walking along a Mediterranean coastline. If you've arrived on the Dart you can walk the promenade south past the old Bray Head Hotel and climb to the start of the 7km walk, which takes about 2 to 2 and half hours to complete. The first half has the best views and a lot of people return after reaching the 3km marker. Back in Bray, treat yourself to a gelato in Gino's or if you want great coffee and a delicious snack head to Caffe Letterario on Albert Walk en route back to Daly Station. If you do go all the way to Greystones, you should reward yourself with a visit to La Crêperie Pierre Grise facing the harbour there. Just be aware that the cliff walk is only 'buggy friendly' for the first kilometre. If it has been raining you really need boots/stout shoes to get through the puddles and/or mud. There is a steep set of steps around the 3 km point which are tough if you've got knee trouble. And finally, if you're tempted to climb up to the cross on Bray Head, be aware that the cement path only lasts for about 100 metres - after that it's a steep climb on an initially rocky but mainly clay path which is dangerously slippery when wet, so be sure to wear hiking shoes or boots if you want to attempt it in those conditions (or at any time really).

Some good restaurants. Beach and mountains close by. The cliff walk to Greystones is really nice , there is also a hike up to the top of Bray's Head Mountain . Get to Bray directly by air coach or you can take the DART .
