St. Helen's Bay
About St. Helen's Bay
St. Helen's Bay is a long Green Coast beach on the south-east tip of Wexford near Kilrane, a quiet stretch of sand looking out to the Tuskar Rock lighthouse. Unsupervised, with few facilities, it is a peaceful place for a long walk away from the crowds, backed by a golf links and with wide views across the Irish Sea.
