The holiday town of Tramore on the south coast of Waterford gets its name from the Irish Trá meaning beach and Mór meaning big. The five kilometers of golden sands have been the playground of Irish holidaymakers since the 1850s when a trainline turned the erstwhile sleepy little fishing village into a tourist destination. It’s been going strong ever since. There’s something for everyone; an amusement park, nature trails, fishing, surfing, pony trekking and golf, but the main attraction will always be the big strand that gave the town its name.
From some angles, it might look like a quiet little spot…
… but there’s always something going on at the strand. It’s the perfect spot to walk the dog…
…take a turn in your kayak…
… go for a paddle…
… or play in the sand.
It is the epitome of the Irish seaside experience. Summer’s here, break out the sunblock.
