Greystones is lifeguarded during the bathing season (lifeguard times are posted on the information noticeboard on the beach).

The South Beach in Greystones is about half a mile long. This follows on from the shingly North Beach at the harbour. There is also a children’s playground situated adjacent to the beach. Blue and Green Flag Beach Awards take place each year in early June.
