Outfits built to this dress code

You stand on sand and grass banks beside the sea: flats, wedges or boots, a wind-proof layer and a hat that is pinned on.
Typically 9-16 C, turning cool with showers. (General climate norm, not from a club page.)
Racing on the strand since 1868; the only beach meeting run under Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board rules (club site).
