About Kilmore Quay
Kilmore Quay is a charming fishing village on the South east coast of Ireland. White-washed thatched houses line the main street leading down to the harbour area. Some are the original cottages built in the 1800s.
In the harbour area you will find a lovely little beach – ideal for families in summer. Our award-wining marina nestles amid the busy fishing harbour. Beyond the pier there is a children’s playground with stunning views across to the Saltee Islands and a free car park.
The promenade leads from here to the Memorial Garden & Grounds, then on to Ballyteige Burrow. Eight kilometres of uninterrupted sand dunes – a fantastic place to walk.
In the village there is a selection of pubs, restaurants, cafés and shops to cater for your every need. Angling charters and boat trips to the magnificent Saltee Islands that lie just a few miles offshore are readily available. Come and see the beauty of this corner of Ireland for yourself.
