Coastal viewpoint overlooking Laytown Strand and the Irish Sea — wide beaches, sand dunes and low-tide rock pools create layered foregrounds. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm light and long shadows; low tide reveals textures for foreground interest. Easy roadside parking and no entry fee; expect coastal winds and changeable weather. Annual Laytown beach horse races (early Sept) offer unique action shots — check local dates and permissions.
