Tramore is a traditional resort on Waterford's south-east coast. It has everything for the classic family holiday - a sandy beach curving round the beautiful Tramore Bay, a bustling promenade, and indoor and outdoor amusements that include dizzying fairground rides. An unmistakable landmark, The Metal Man, looks out over the bay from one of several pillars built to warn ships of shallow waters. This is a surfing town, and the remarkable Surf & Wildlife Centre, at the front, caters for everyone looking to catch the waves while also providing information and walks explaining the local geology and ecology. Dolphin and whale-watching trips are popular. Other outdoor pleasures include swimming, horse-riding, and racing at Tramore Racecourse, while golfers will appreciate a rolling, 18-hole parkland course, and ramblers will enjoy spectacular views from the coastal cliff paths. A more unusual attraction is Laser Blast, a high-tech game for all ages, at Riverstown Business Park. Less adventurous visitors might prefer a spot of pampering at the Bay Spa. Away from the sea, sand and lively nightlife of Tramore, the surrounding countryside is dotted with megalithic stones. And neighbouring Fenor, the gateway to the Copper Coast, offers numerous sporting opportunities as well as a mini-farm, a children's favourite.
