Very safe, has been awarded purple status which means safe at night and during the day. I walk, hike and run solo regularly. People are friendly, if you get lost just ask for help. Urban location so plenty of people around.

I’ve been living in Bray for more than a year now and I’ve never felt more safe in my town. I’ve taken the night bus (runs on the week end from Dublin City centre to Bray late at night) and it’s a great service, people are a bit loud on it and obviously people have just had drinks in a night out but never any issue. I’ve gone on walks late at night on the beach and I’ve never seen anything that made me worried about being outside alone. People working in shops and cafes are really nice. If you’re travelling to Bray and would like some recommendations or to meet up for coffee let me know :)
