Introducing Tramore
Amusement arcades, sand castles and candy floss – hurray, hurray, hurray! Tramore’s fairground and fast-food outlets along the seafront are terrifically tacky, contrasting with the sober town, which leads up a steep hillside to the Holy Cross Church (1860).

Tramore (‘big beach’ in Irish) is the busiest of County Waterford’s seaside resorts, with a delightful 5km beach and 30m-high sand dunes at the eastern end. A premier surfing spot, it is being developed as an eco-tourismdestination by local activities companies, which aim to curb the damage inflicted by the beach-going hordes.
The tourist office (381 572; www.tramore.net ; Railway Sq; 10am-6pm Mon-Sat Jun-Aug), in the old train station, has an excellent free brochure detailing six walks around town; another covers the Dolmen Drive, a 35km route taking in megalithic tombs and standing stones.
