Capturing Moments: Bray Seafront

Bray is a popular seaside town in County Wicklow on the east coast of Ireland, about 20km south of Dublin city centre. Bray was planned as a resort town in the 19th century when the Dublin railway was extended, modelled on the resort towns of the English coast such as Brighton. It is characterised by its Victorian Promenade with numerous English-style bandstands and beach huts, extending to Bray Head, a popular headland of the WIcklow mountains.

Although Bray is no longer the tourist location that it once was, it is still popular with day trippers, local walkers, families and visitors and it has many attractions to offer.

Bray coastline offers many opportunities for coastal photography but on this occasion I concentrated on the seafront, which presented some opportunities for candid photography as well as a view of what Bray has to offer.
