Bray is well-connected by public transport. From Dublin, take the DART (suburban train) directly to Bray Daly Station. Several Dublin Bus routes and other bus companies also serve Bray. From the station, the seafront is a short walk away. During the Airshow, expect increased frequency of services but also significant crowding. Consider purchasing a Leap Visitor Card for unlimited travel on Dublin's public transport. A shuttle bus service will operate from the Brides Glen Luas (tram) stop, but requires a pre-purchased ticket for €6.50 return.
