About Kilmore Quay
Kilmore Quay is a small coastal fishing village in south County Wexford, within the Y35 area and close to Kilmore Village and Duncormick. It has a distinctly maritime character, with a working harbour, brightly painted boats and views across to the Saltee Islands, while the surrounding countryside remains quiet and rural. Everyday life is peaceful and community-oriented, with the village’s amenities centred around the harbour, beach and a small number of established pubs, restaurants and cafés. Kilmore Quay beach provides a sandy shoreline and is popular for walks, swimming and family outings, while nearby Ballyteige Burrow offers important coastal scenery and wildlife. The village is served by Kilmore Quay National School, with further primary and secondary education available in nearby villages and towns such as Bridgetown and Wellingtonbridge. There is no railway station in the locality, so residents generally rely on cars and local bus services for commuting, shopping and access to larger centres including Wexford town. The harbour is the base for fishing activity and seasonal boat trips to the Saltee Islands, and local businesses and community organisations give the village a strong identity outside the summer tourist season.
