Blackrock (Irish: Na Creagacha Dubha, meaning 'the black rocks')[3] is a seaside village just to the south of Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland.

[citation needed] Blackrock beach and its promenade (incorporating Blackrock's Millennium project - a sundial which is claimed to be the largest in a public area in Ireland)[4][5] is still a focal point of the village and the site of Christmas Day fundraising events, an annual raft race, annual movie festival and pumpkin festival.

[citation needed] In common with a number of east coast locations, the beach has a gentle gradient and the sea retreats about 5 km at low tide.

[citation needed] There are views looking north over Dundalk Bay from the promenade toward the Cooley Mountains.

After the closure of the greyhound track Sandy Lane became a venue for the Juveniles and then Rock Celtic Football Club.
