Dunmore East is a charming fishing village at the mouth of Waterford Harbour, 17 kilometres from Waterford city, with a series of small sandy beaches — Counsellor's Beach, Ladies' Cove, and the main Dunmore Strand — backed by red sandstone cliffs and excellent waterfront seafood restaurants. The village's thatched cottages and working trawler fleet give it an authentically Irish coastal character. Hotels in Waterford city offer easy access to Dunmore East and the extraordinary Waterford coast, including the famous Hook Lighthouse — the oldest operational lighthouse in the world.
