Gardaí were called to Burrow Beach in Sutton on Monday evening following the outbreak of a mass brawl.
A number of Garda units were deployed to disperse crowds and seal off an area at the popular beach.
Huge crowds descended onto the beach on Monday for the hottest day of the year to enjoy the summery conditions.
Reports suggest a brawl broke out between a group of teenagers and videos circulating on social media show a large group of gardaí and the Public Order Unit patrolling the area.
In a statement to JOE on Tuesday morning, a spokesperson for An Garda Síochána said: "Gardaí responded to reports of disturbances on Burrow Beach in Dublin 13 on Monday evening, 24th June 2024.
"A number of units attended the scene at around 6pm and crowds were later dispersed from the area.
"Investigations ongoing."
Similar scenes occurred in June last year when gardaí were called to the Dublin beach to disperse dozens of young people after a fight broke out.
