Welcome to Blackrock, Co. Louth

The charming seaside village of Blackrock lies on the shores of Dundalk Bay, just 10 minutes drive from Dundalk. With its beautiful promenade and variety of beaches, seafront cafes and coffee shops, lively pubs and top quality restaurants, tranquil coves and rock pools, and spectacular views of the whole expanse of the bay backed by the Cooley Mountains, it is the ideal location for a short break, a leisurely daytrip, or an afternoon stroll in the bracing sea air.  Blackrock currently holds the title of Louth’s Tidiest Town in the National Tidy Towns Competition.

Blackrock Tidy Towns is one of the principal community groups in the village. Our objective is to make Blackrock a better place in which to live, and a more pleasant place to visit and enjoy.
