A red and yellow wooden lifeguard hut stands on stilts on the sandy Brittas Bay beach in County Wicklow, Ireland, with the blue Irish Sea and white breaking waves in the background under a bright sky. Two red lifebuoys are attached to the front of the hut. A metal staircase leads up to the entrance, and there are metal grated platforms extending from the hut.
