Curracloe Neighbourhood Guide
Wexford
About Curracloe
Curracloe is a rural coastal village in north-east County Wexford, around 10 kilometres north-east of Wexford town and close to the villages of Castlebridge and Blackwater. It is best known for Curracloe Beach and the adjoining Raven Nature Reserve, with long sandy dunes, woodland and a strong outdoor, family-friendly character. Day-to-day life is quiet and community-based, with local services supplemented by the wider shopping, healthcare and employment facilities of Wexford town. Curracloe National School serves local families, while secondary-school choices are generally found in Wexford and nearby towns. Road access is important, with regular bus connections towards Wexford and the north Wexford coast; commuters typically use the regional road network and Wexford railway station. Local social life centres on village pubs and community activities, while restaurants, cafés and larger retail options are more plentiful in Wexford, Castlebridge and along the coast. Walking, beach activities, surfing and nature visits are major attractions, and the area’s proximity to Rosslare Europort is useful for ferry travel and longer-distance connections.
