Skerries South Strand is a long sandy beach approximately 2.5km in length with low dunes behind the strandline in the centre and to the south of the designated bathing water. The beach is accessible along its length from the footpath / promenade that runs parallel to the beach.

There are three islands visible off the coast. 19th century Rockabill lighthouse, which was automated just recently, is approx. 16km offshore.
