The South East Wexford coastline is a long maze of coves, bays and golden sands. It is said that you can stay for two weeks and enjoy a different beach each day. Duncannon Strand boasts Blue Flag status. Water sports such as boarding-sailing, sea-canoeing, dingy sailing, snorkelling and other outdoor activities are organised for groups.
