Portmarnock is named after Saint Marnock, a prominent missionary who founded a church in the area. The Velvet Strand is a long sandy beach, approximately 5 km in length, consisting of a large sandy dune area (see below). There are public toilets located at the northern end of the beach. Portmarnock is a haven for beach goers during the summer months, offering facilities like hotels, restaurants, fast food outlets and golf courses.
The town is served by the No. 32B and No. 42 bus service from Dublin City Centre, with a bus stop right at the beach! There is also a large public car-park at the beach.
