About Dunmore East
Dunmore East is a picturesque coastal village in south-east County Waterford, overlooking Waterford Harbour and the Irish Sea. It has a largely residential, holiday and maritime character, with a compact centre, colourful harbour, sandy coves and distinctive thatched cottages. Day-to-day life is quieter than in Waterford city or Tramore, although the village becomes livelier during the summer months. Local education is centred on the primary school, while secondary pupils generally travel to schools in nearby Tramore or Waterford. The village is served by local bus connections, with wider shopping, employment and rail connections available in Waterford city; car ownership is useful for commuting and larger errands. Dunmore East has a good selection of seasonal and year-round pubs, restaurants and cafés, particularly around the harbour and village centre. Outdoor amenities include coastal walks, beaches, the golf course and the Dunmore East Adventure Centre, with sailing, kayaking and other watersports prominent locally. The Park and Marine Store are recognisable local amenities, while the harbour, cliffs and nearby coastal villages towards Tramore, Fethard and Killowen provide a strong sense of place.
