Kilmore Quay is a fishing village on the south coast of County Wexford, with a population of about 400. It's a centre for yachting and sea-angling, and boat trips sail to the nature reserve of Great Saltee Island. Small as it is, Kilmore Quay is the main settlement on this coast, between the River Bannow estuary to the west, and Tacumshane to the east where the coast turns away from the Atlantic to face the Irish Sea.
