Begin your Balbriggan walking tour at Bridge Street, the vibrant heart of this coastal Dublin town, where you can grab a hearty lunch at The Harvest Moon Café on Mill Street. This cosy spot serves up fresh sandwiches and homemade soups, affordable, no bookings needed, but arrive early to snag a table before the midday rush.
Stroll along Bridge Street to St George’s Church, a charming 19th-century Gothic Revival structure with elegant stained glass, evoking the timeless allure of a historical sketch. From there, wander up Drogheda Street to Balbriggan Market Square, where the weekly market (check for Saturday stalls as of 26 July 2025) adds a lively buzz, and you can peek at local crafts or produce.
Next, head towards High Street and pop into Brew & Bean Coffee House for a velvety hot chocolate or artisan coffee. If you’re craving something more upscale, The Bracken Court Hotel on Bridge Street offers refined dining with local seafood in a polished setting.
Finish your walk by looping to Balbriggan Beach via the Harbour, a short stroll along the coast, where the Irish Sea’s gentle waves provide a serene end. If time allows, visit the Balbriggan Lighthouse, a historic beacon with a small display on the town’s maritime past. This 1-2 mile route captures Balbriggan’s coastal charm, local eats, and historic touches.
