Road Greystones is accessible from the
N11 Dublin–Wexford road; via an interchange (Junction 11 on the N11) near
Charlesland connects with the town via a
dual carriageway. This quickly changes into the
M11. This then joins onto the
M50 (Dublin's orbital motorway) about 10 km north. There is an interchange in Bray (J7) that has a link road to Greystones from the north
Rail Greystones railway station, which opened on 30 October 1855, is the southern terminus of the
DART railway line, a service which connects thirty-one stations along Dublin's east coast.

Bus Prior to the introduction of Phase 6a of the Dublin BusConnects programme, Greystones was served by Dublin Bus services 84 (Newcastle-Kilcoole-Greystones-Southern Cross-Brides Glen Luas-Blackrock, with route variation 84a operating at peak times between Bray Station and Blackrock), Express route 84X (Newcastle-Sea Road, Kilcoole-Greystones-Southern Cross-N11-Eden Quay), and Go-Ahead Ireland service 184 (Newtownmountkennedy-Kilpedder-Ballydonagh Road-Delgany-Greystones-Bray Station). As of 26th January, 2025, these routes were replaced with Go-Ahead Ireland services L1, L2 and L3 and Dublin Bus services X1 and X2. Route L1 is similar to former route 184, but excludes the N11 loop to Ballydonagh Road and instead continues from Kilpedder into Delgany. The L1 also does not serve the Charlesland loop, which is now part of route L2, which continues along the R774 towards Greystones or Kilcoole, only serving one of the two Charlesland stops on either side of the road. The L1 instead continues towards Greystones and Bray as per route 184. The L1 stays on the R762 through Greystones until it turns left onto Bellevue Road, heading west, serving Greystones Shopping Centre. The L1 then turns right onto the R761 and continues north until Bray, where it turns onto Quinsborough Road to terminate at Bray Station, as per route 184. Route L2 incorporates the start of former routes 84/x and, beginning in Newcastle, serves Kilcoole and the Sea Road loop (formerly 84x) and continues as per previous route 84 until Knockroe Roundabout, the intersection between the R761 and R774. Here, the L2 continues east on the R774, onto a newly designated bus corridor, serving new stops 8279 (Northbound) and 8281 (Southbound) at Greystones CNS and Hawkins Wood. It then links to the Charlesland stop which is no longer served as part of the Charlesland loop. The L2 continues along the R774 until Mill Road Roundabout, where it joins the L1, continuing on the R762 until Greystones and Bray as per route 184. From this point, routes L1 and L2 are the same, and work together to provide a 15 minute gap between bus services between Greystones and Bray. These services both terminate at Bray Station. Route L3 commences at Glenbrook Park, which used to be served by route 84. As the L2 deviates from the 84’s route down the R774, the L3 replaces the remainder of the 84’s service in the Greystones area. It travels from Glenbrook Park, north along the R761. It then joins the L1 at the R761/R762 interchange roundabouts and continues as per the L1 (being joined by the L2 at Mill Road Roundabout) as far as Stop 4284- Greystones Village, after which it turns right onto La Touche Place, continuing to serve the same route as route 84. It heads along Trafalgar Road towards Greystones Marina and then along Victoria road past Greystones Fire Station, then turning right at the end of the R762. From here it rejoins routes L1 and L2 on the R761 at Rathdown Lawn and continues as far as Blacklion Shopping Centre to the north of Greystones. Instead of continuing towards Southern Cross Road as per route 84, the L3 turns left onto another new bus corridor towards Chapel Road. It serves new stops 8287, 8288, 8289 (Northwestbound); 8284, 8285, 8286 (Southeastbound) until terminating at the Nurseries, Stop 8283. Dublin Bus route X1 commences at Stop 4307, Sea Road, Kilcoole (formerly served by route 84 and now also served by route L2 in both northerly and southerly directions as part of the Sea Road loop). From here, the X1 continues as per previous route 84x through Kilcoole, Killincarrig, Greystones, Victoria Road, Southern Cross Road, N11 and R138 to terminate at Hawkins Street on the Southside (commencing stop of 84x southbound), instead of continuing up to the Eden Quay terminus of the northbound 84x. The X2 is as per route X1 apart from two deviations. Instead of commencing at Sea Road, it does so at the terminus of the L2 in Newcastle. It skips the Sea Road loop and continues on the same route as the X1 until the N11, where it takes the sliproad onto the R118 (Wyattville Road) and serves Brides Glen Luas as per route 84. There is some controversy with this route planning due to the X2 being an Express route. Some say that this defeats the purpose of the route’s Express designation as it is a costly detour in terms of time, especially during peak traffic hours. However, it provides the only connection from Newcastle, Kilcoole and Greystones to Brides Glen the Luas Green Line, which is still availed of by commuters. The X2 then rejoins the N11 and continues to Hawkins Street as per route X1. The X1 and X2 are now the only services that directly link Greystones to Southern Cross Road. Blackrock is also no longer directly connected to Greystones and Bray due to the removal of routes 84/a. The X1 and X2 also only run on weekdays at peak times in the morning and evening, like the 84a/x, which may cause inconvenience for some travelers who previously would have travelled between these destinations outside of peak hours. There is still one pre-BusConnects route that remains in Greystones, Dublin Bus route 84n. This route runs from Dublin City Centre on Friday and Saturday nights (technically Saturday and Sunday mornings). There are three services each morning that depart D’Olier street at 00:00, 02:00 and 04:00. The 84n then travels through Ringsend and Sandymount before joining the R118 at St. Vincent’s University Hospital. From here, it travels along the R118 through Booterstown and Blackrock, before heading along the R827 through Deansgrange. It then joins the N11 at Cornelscourt, passes through Shankill, Bray and Ballywaltrim (via Boghall Road), before following the 84’s old route as far as Mill Road Roundabout. Here, it turns onto the R774 and terminates at the Northbound Charlesland stop, Stop 7461. As of 1st January 2017, Aircoach route 702 (note that 7xx denotes an Airport route in Ireland) ran from Greystones to Dublin Airport through Bray, Shankill, Dalkey, Booterstown, Ballsbridge and Dublin Port Tunnel. Along its route to and from Greystones, the 702 served Blacklion Shopping Centre, Greystones Station and Charlesland before terminating at Hawkins Wood, following an expansion in 2024 due the completion of the building of Hawkins Wood. When Phase 6a of BusConnects was introduced on 26th January, 2025, the 702 remained as part of Greystones’ bus network, along with the 84n. The routes 84/a/x and 184 were replaced by Local routes L1, L2 and L3, and Express routes X1 and X2. Shortly after, however, on 2nd March 2025, the 702’s service was discontinued in Greystones, Bray and Shankill, due to low passenger demand. It now only runs to and from Dalkey, following the same route.
Walking Bray and Greystones are linked by a Cliff Walk, which follows the route of the railway line around
Bray Head. The walk is 6 km long and takes approximately two hours. However this walk was closed in February of 2021, this was because of rockfall and, as of May 2026 it has not reopened ==Administration==
