Tramore Tramore is one of the most popular destinations for family holidays in the Southeast. A wonderful 3 mile beach with its 30 metre high sand dunes helps to make Tramore the popular destination that it is. Part of the seafront is taken up by a 50 acre amusement park. It contains the amusements themselves, a miniature railway and a boating lake. At the western end of the beach is the figure of the Iron Man, a huge painted iron figure of an 18th century sailor, who has his arm pointed out to sea to warn approaching ships. He was erected in 1816 when 360 lives were lost after they mistook Tramore Bay for Waterford harbour. More info...
