Relax on Beautiful Beaches

Tramore Beach is one of the most popular beaches in the region. It provides a long sandy shoreline that is perfect for walking, relaxing, and enjoying seaside cafés.

Meanwhile, Annestown Beach offers a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere. Dramatic cliffs surround the beach, creating a beautiful natural setting.
Bunmahon Beach, located in the heart of the Copper Coast, attracts surfers thanks to its strong Atlantic waves. However, it is also a great place for scenic walks and photography.

During summer months, the beaches are ideal for swimming and relaxing by the sea. In cooler seasons, they offer refreshing coastal walks with incredible views.

Walk, Hike and Cycle Scenic Routes

The Copper Coast provides many opportunities for outdoor activities. Coastal walking routes allow visitors to explore cliffs, beaches, and countryside landscapes.

The Waterford Greenway is one of the most famous attractions in the region. This scenic cycling and walking trail stretches from Waterford City to Dungarvan and follows a former railway line.

Because the route is traffic-free, it suits cyclists, walkers, and families. Bike hire is available in nearby towns, making it easy to explore the trail even if you do not bring your own bike.

After an active day outdoors, returning to your private cabin with a hot tub and sauna makes the experience even more enjoyable.
