Courtown Neighbourhood Guide
Wexford
About Courtown
Courtown is a small coastal resort and residential locality on Wexford’s north-east coast, close to Ardamine and about five kilometres east of Gorey. It is known for its sandy beach, harbour and wooded Courtown Demesne, giving the area a relaxed seaside character that becomes livelier during the summer months. Day-to-day living combines village amenities with easy access to Gorey for larger-scale shopping, services and commuting. Riverchapel National School serves the local community, while secondary-school and broader education options are available in Gorey and surrounding towns. Local leisure is centred on the beach, harbour, Courtown Adventure & Leisure Centre and the surrounding woodland, with walking, water-based activities and family attractions nearby. Residents have a choice of traditional pubs, casual restaurants and cafés in Courtown, Riverchapel and Gorey, though the range is smaller outside the holiday season. The N11/M11 corridor makes Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford more accessible by car, while Gorey provides the nearest railway station and a wider selection of bus services. The locality also benefits from its proximity to golf, equestrian, GAA and community facilities around Gorey and north Wexford.
