Arklow Peir

#1 Post by ardinn »

So I was in Arklow on business and notice the peir so said I would have a gander and check out the area.

Anyone any idea of the lie of the land? I dunno how many peirs are in arklow so I went to the one where I drove down by "Gains" and the dock area.

Whats the fishing off the peir like? which side is best, and whats the stretch of beach like. I might head out for a day there soon if it comes recommended.

Thanks

not sure about the pier, but if you drive out of the town there is a beach about 5 minutes maybe not even that down the road that use to be good, i havent fished in a while but could still be good, can be easy to drive past too so dont drive too fast down the road!

South beach in arklow is normally a good spot, it can throw up most species the river out near the harbour can be alive with flats too ;-) just keep an eye on your car if possible as broken windows can occur :-(
