Miles of glorious white sandy beach in Ireland’s sunny south east

The beach the beach the beach the beach…that’s all you need to know really. Curracloe camping is in Co. Wexford nestled in the sunniest and warmest (most of the time) corner of Ireland. It’s our go-to camp site not only because it’s close (1 hour 20 minutes door to door) but because it’s so gorgeous and easy. The beach is just stunning. Long and wide, but not too wide, spotlessly clean with fine white sand, it’s really safe for swimming and sheltered by rolling sand dunes perfect for dune surfing. The camp site is just behind the dunes, about a 5 minute walk from the beach. Its kind of redundant to say a camp site is laid back –  every camp site is laid-back – but Curracloe camp site is particularly chilled. There’s no marked out plots so you pitch where you like. They don’t have a reception, so on arrival you pop in to the on-site restaurant, and they’ll tell you where to go. And unless its a bank holiday weekend, you generally don’t need to book. Although with the recent announcement that the hugely popular Morriscastle Holiday Park, just north of here, will no longer offer a camping option, Curracloe can expect to get a lot busier.
