Kilmore Quay Neighbourhood Guide
Wexford
About Kilmore Quay
Kilmore Quay is a small coastal fishing village in south County Wexford, close to Kilmore Village and within reach of Duncormick and Wexford town. It has a distinctly maritime character, with a working harbour, colourful boats, sea views and a relaxed, close-knit feel that becomes livelier during the summer season. Day-to-day life is quiet and car-dependent, with local shops, pubs and places to eat centred around the harbour and village. The area is particularly appealing to people seeking coastal walks, beaches, boating and a slower rural pace, while the wider countryside provides a strong sense of space. Primary-school provision is available in the surrounding villages, with secondary schools and broader services generally found towards Bridgetown, Rosslare or Wexford. Road travel is the main transport option, with regular car journeys needed for larger supermarkets, healthcare, work and rail connections. Local highlights include the harbour, nearby Ballyteige Burrow nature reserve, Kilmore Quay beach and ferry trips to the Saltee Islands, while seafood, traditional pubs and seasonal cafés contribute to the village’s character.
