i fish here quite a bit and have never been approached by an official :wink: during the day i would stay away from the main beach section fish north towards the tearooms starting from the tunnell just past the carpark where the stone cages finish, or go to the southern end anywhere past the dart station there is rough ground at both ends :wink:

I don't think there is any point fishing it in the day and there is nobody about to complain at night. Just make sure to take all the rubbish home.

I have fished there a few times and have never been approached. I just moved to the area and there are always a few guys out on the beach fishing. Apparently its ok to fish outside the lifegaurd flags. So from the end of the car park and up towards Dalkey is fine.
