Common questions

Where can you swim near Newry?
3 sea, lake and river swimming spots lie within 30 km of Newry, spread across 1 area. This page lists them by distance from the town rather than by county, because a boundary is not what decides where you drive.
What is the nearest beach to Newry?
Warrenpoint in Northern Ireland, about 11 km away. It is the closest of the 3 listed here; the next few are within a short drive and each shows its current status, so the nearest is not always the one to pick.
Is the water clean near Newry?
3 of these 3 spots are designated bathing waters with published monitoring, from DAERA (Northern Ireland). Monitoring covers bacterial quality only — it says nothing about tides, currents, swell or cold-water shock, and nothing here is a clearance to swim.
Can you swim near Newry right now?
No spot within 30 km of Newry is currently under a pollution alert or bathing restriction. 3 of the 3 are not monitored, so nothing is published for them either way. That is not a safety clearance — check the conditions in front of you before going in.
