After Harry Styles' massively successful gig at Slane Castle last night, fans might be hoping to catch a glimpse of him before he leaves the country.
When Harry last played in Ireland at Dublin ’s Aviva Stadium in June 2022, he famously went for a dip at the Vico Baths, Dalkey with a humble carrier bag in tow. Fáilte Ireland have now sent Harry a bespoke list of great swimming spots in Meath and the wider Ireland’s Ancient East region, so fans should keep their eyes peeled over the weekend. Unless he decides to make the journey back to Vico for round two.
Brittas Bay South Beach, Co Wicklow
County Wicklow is overflowing with natural beauty, but one of its highlights has to be the breath-taking Brittas Bay South Beach. With 5km of powdery white sand dunes that could be mistaken for somewhere more tropical, the beach has won and maintained its Blue Flag status for many years and is popular with visitors from near and far.
Bettystown Beach, Co Meath
The vast open stretch of golden beach at Bettystown in Meath is a wonderful place to dip your toes in the Irish Sea, especially if swimming is a new hobby. The water here gradually gets deeper, and swimmers can wade in until they find the depth that suits them. After swimming, visitors can stroll down the coast to the mouth of the River Boyne at Mornington Beach and watch as ships sail into Drogheda Port.

Carlingford Lough, Louth
As the adventure capital of Louth, Carlingford is known for its amazing outdoor pursuits and locals love swimming in Carlingford Lough. At the lake, visitors can take in epic views of Carlingford Castle and Slieve Foye before heading to Sweet Sundaes for a locally made sundae or delicious crepes.
Of course, the Watermelon Sugar-hitmaker might decide to go to one of the fantastic beaches in Dublin instead. And if fans go to Killiney beach or Velvet Strand and he isn't there, at least they will have enjoyed the warm weather before the thunderstorm-filled week ahead.
Harry's next gig is in London on Tuesday, June 13 so the star won't be staying in Ireland for long.
