Bray Harbour sits at the mouth of the River Dargle, roughly ten miles south of Dublin Bay, making it the northernmost harbour in County Wicklow.

The Dargle flows along the harbour's north wall and maintains an outgoing current throughout the tidal cycle, so entry is only practical for a couple of hours either side of high water. Depths are approximately 1.

5 metres LAT at the entrance, becoming awash shortly inside the harbour mouth. Vessels approaching should steer a southwesterly course, keeping close to the north pier and well clear of the south pier, which has a submerged head barely awash at low water.

Inside, local small craft are moored fore and aft and take to the hard at low tide.

The harbour is used exclusively for marine leisure activities and is home to Bray Sailing Club, which manages moorings on the south side and is reported to be welcoming to visiting sailors.
