I know and understand why fisherfolk here generally dont give out marks, and im not arguing with that at all!
Im not asking for any amazing secluded marks you guys have worked hard to understand.
Im bringing 2 friends out who have never fished before. I want to bring them to a fairly popular mark, where the risk of losing gear is reduced, basically i want them to have a good first experience, not one of tangled line and lost rigs.
So I think a beach would be best. Was thinking of white rock, but if anyone wanted to recommend a decent beach that's fairly well known id appreciate it.
Based in Dublin but may travel as far as Wicklow (done a lot of pier fishing there years before, but lost a lot of rigs also from the end of the pier).
Thanks a mil!

Ennereilly beach is a decent beach, easy access won't loose tackle and throws up a decent amount of species

Arklow South Beach is a prolific spot.
Fish near the car, distance casting not required and a large number of species available, I’d recommend to anyone!

Also agree with Arklow. Have never lost gear there and have caught a rake of species.

Re: Decent "well known" beach to introduce beginner to fishi
Both South beach and Killiney are great beaches for beginner fishing. Killiney is the shorter drive!
