Rosslare Strand
About Rosslare Strand
Rosslare Strand is a long Blue Flag beach on the south Wexford coast, six kilometres of golden sand that has been a popular seaside resort for generations. Lifeguarded in summer with safe, gently shelving water, it is ideal for swimming, walking and watersports, with the village's hotels and golf links close by. One of the warmest, sunniest beaches in Ireland's south-east.
