Located on Ireland's northern coast of County Wicklow, Bray is an Irish seaside resort. It takes around 30-45 minutes from Dublin Conolly Station to Bray Daly Station, and a round trip student ticket costs just €7.2 at any time. The weather in Ireland is similar to that of England, so it's nice to see a clear day. So as the last stop on our trip to Ireland, today we were very lucky to reach this Irish seaside town under the blue sky!

📍 Platform Pizza Bar
💡 Location: 7 Strand Rd, Bray, Co. Wicklow, A98 C5D0, Ireland (map requestClick here)
💡 Official website:https://www.platformpizzabar.ie/
💡 Opening hours: 12:00 PM - 10:00 PM/11:00 PM (Friday - Sat)
Platform Pizza Bar is located on Bray's seafront, and the shape of the iron container is easily recognizable. All kinds of restaurants are gathered here, but the most famous one is here. The restaurants here usually only open at 11:00, so if you arrive too early, you'll have to wait a while!
🍴 Just Wing-It Wings (€9) & Pancetta Pizza (€13.75)
We ordered a copy of Just Wing-It Wings for the first plate and a Pancetta Pizza. The chicken wings are wrapped in a sweet satay sauce, which is very tasty. The restaurant carefully provided lemon water for us to clean our hands after eating. Pizza ingredients include smoked meat, mushrooms, and a solar egg on top, like a breakfast companion. Maybe it's due to the careful selection of ingredients. The pizza here is different from what you eat on weekdays, so I finally understand why this place is recommended.
📍 Harbour Bar Embankment
If you go to the seaside, you'll see a landmark Harbour Bar embankment. Actually, this is just a promotion method for this restaurant, yet it has become a photo spot for many travelers.
📍 Bray Head Cliff Walk
Many people who come to Bray will walk up the mountain to the location of the Holy Year Cross or to the nearby town of Greystone. The Holy Year Cross was built in 1950 to celebrate this year's forgiveness of sins and forgiveness of the universe, and to remind the authors to serve God with justice and hope.
Walking along the coast, you can see many families playing at the seaside. There are many small parks and snack bars along the way, perfect for a holiday. There's also the SeaLife Aquarium here, but apparently it's small.
Since we had already walked through Cliff of Moher the previous two days, we were just starting. Railroads with visible trains along the way are strung between the hills, creating a beautiful view of the surrounding sea and sky.
📍 The Martello
💡 Location: 47 Strand Rd, Bray, Co. Wicklow, Ireland (map requestClick here)
💡 Official website:https://www.themartello.ie/
🍴 Bueno Hot Chocolate (€4.5) & Hot Mocha (€3)
The temperature at the seaside was actually too cold, so we went to The Martello, a seaside hotel and restaurant, sat by the fireplace to warm up, and ordered two hot drinks. Hot chocolate tastes just like regular chocolate, except that it has a bar of candy on it. Hot Mocha's garland is a great addition, and comes with a small block of cookies, which just doesn't taste sweet.
🍴 French Toast (€8) & Pancake Stack (€5.5)
A quick way to get to know the best places to visit in a place during your trip is to ask the locals. Our host introduced the breakfast here, so we came here the next day and ordered 2 excellent breakfasts.
📍 Bray Firefighter Memorial
On our way back to our stay, we stumbled upon a monument. This monument commemorates the firefighters who died in the line of duty during relief operations on 2007/9/16. The missing firefighters' uniforms and alternating hands made me feel their spirit of sacrifice.
🏠 Bray Accommodation
Our currentlodgingsLocated about a 20 minute walk from Bray Station and the seaside, it costs an average of £25 per person per night for two. The owners were very friendly, and after welcoming us, they also recommended nearby restaurants and attractions with us. The room has a private bathroom, and breakfast is included. There is a bus stop outside the hotel with direct access to the bus stop, which is very convenient.
All in all, as the last stop of our trip to Ireland, we spent our last day here at leisure, watching people's family fun at the seaside. A trip isn't a visit to that place's landmark attractions to be complete. It's also a form of enjoyment to enjoy the atmosphere in a relaxed manner.
