Gorgeous beach - Lots of water sports available for all ages right on the beach & lifeguards on duty for safety too. Plenty of parking available if driving & also just off the Waterford Greenway, if cycling on a day trip.

I organized golf at Dungarvan Golf Club for last week and all 20 of our group were taken with the condition of the course. We have an equal number of high and single figure golfers and all found the course to be challenging but fair. We were looked after really well by the Professional David Hayes and his pro shop staff. After golf we all ate in the clubhouse and we had a great choice of food on the menu. A big thanks to the catering staff for the beautiful food and service. Lastly l must mention Irene for her professionalism in the way she dealt with the booking. We will definitely be back

We rented bikes from this place in the beginning of April. The people at the shop were very nice. The bikes were perfect for riding on the Waterford Greenway. About half way to Waterford, we decided that we wanted to stop biking. We contacted the guy at the bike shop and he told us where to meet the shuttle that would bring both us and our bikes back to the shop. I had taken a little fall on my bike and a couple of parts on the bike were a little bent. The people at the bike shop were not at all concerned by this which was a relief. If you are in or near Dungarvan, I highly recommend biking the Waterford Greenway and renting bikes from Greenway Bike Rental.
