Description
The glorious County Wexford coast boasts an abundance of stunning sandy stretches. There is a reason Wexford is called the Sunny South-East, it’s because it gets a lot more sunshine than the rest of the country. What it also lays claims to apart from the best strawberries in Ireland is an astonishing 250km of pretty impressive coastline. In fact, the golden sands of The Model County have enticed some of the biggest names in Hollywood to our shores. Movie fans will know Curracloe as the beach where Steven Spielberg shot the film “Saving Private Ryan” in 1997. Before getting a glimpse at the famous movie set, you’ll begin your journey and pass through Dunmore East, a popular fishing village in Waterford. Next, you’ll soak up the beauty that is Hook-Head Lighthouse, one of the oldest lighthouses in the world. Headed north, you’ll view Kilmore Quay and Rosslare Strand from above before arriving at Wexford Harbour, the natural harbour at the mouth of the river Slaney. Next on the agenda is Curracloe Beach, you’ll recognize it from the D-Day landings scenes in “Saving Private Ryan”. After that, its time to fly back west, passing through John F Kenney Park and Tintern Abby.
