Rosslare Strand

After four days in Dublin, we took a 3 hour train ride south to spend a night at the Irish Sea. Rosslare is a port where ferries arrive from Europe. The Strand, or beach, just a few miles north, has a long stretch of beautiful unspoiled beach, and not much else. We loved taking a long walk on this beach, breathing in all the fresh sea air and picking out some pretty shells.



There are only two hotels in Rosslare Strand. Kelly's, a super nice resort, and Crosbie Cedars, a funky old family run hotel that had Kids Karaoke going on in the pub. We chose the latter, since it was 1/3 the price, and we were taking a 7am train to Waterford in the morning.
Just a few photos from the beach:
