Beautiful three mile stretch of beach in Meath where the Tara brooch was found in 1850.

A beautiful three mile sandy stretch of sandy beach in Meath. The long beach spans from the River Boyne on the border (of Meath and Louth in the north) down to the River Nanny (at Laytown to the south). The southern stretch is Laytown beach. The famous ‘Tara Brooch’ dated from around 700 AD was discovered in 1850 buried in a box on Bettystown Beach and is now housed at the National Museum in Dublin.
