About
The town's sea-swimming spot, and the home of its defining daily ritual: swimrise, when a tribe of locals walks down before dawn and gets into the sea whatever the season. Tidal and exposed, with steps down to the water near the harbour. Not a sandy beach but the place to understand what makes Greystones tick.
