A new tide website and app has been created featuring a dedicated Coney Island crossing page, helping walkers and visitors plan their journey safely and easily.
Whether you’re heading across for a pint, a walk, or simply to soak up the island atmosphere, it’s another handy tool to have before making the crossing.
We're Open from 2pm Friday - Sunday.

Huge credit to everyone involved in developing it 👏

Thank you to Strandhill Life Pharmacy for Sponsoring 300mg Aspirin for use on 999/112 calls by Strandhill Community First Responders , used when the patient has called with heart attack symptoms.

As trained responder, we are guided by specific Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for administering Aspirin in pre-hospital emergencies.

The Aspirin is a vital part of our volunteers emergency kit.
