Curracloe

Curracloe (Irish: Currach Cló, meaning 'marsh of the impression'[1]) is a village in County Wexford, Ireland.

It is linked to the long and sandy Curracloe Strand (beach) 4 km (2.5 mi) to the east.

Curracloe sees an influx of holiday travellers every summer, who stay in bed & breakfast inns, mobile homes and caravan parks.
