Boatstrand (Irish: Trá na mBád)[1] is a coastal village on the Copper Coast, Ireland, which lies between Annestown and Bunmahon.

[4] The dock dates back to the 1800s and is a hub of activity, especially in the summer months.

[5] It is also home to Dunbrattin Head, one of the best fishing spots in County Waterford.

[3] [4] The promontory fort at Dunabrattin is the largest found along the Waterford coastline, covering an area of around 6 hectares.

The fort protected a Celtic clan called the Brattins who lived at this cliff top location around 2,000 years ago.
