Rosslare is a small seaside town in County Wexford, on Ireland's southeast tip. Most people know it for Rosslare Europort, the main ferry terminal connecting Ireland with Wales and northern France — Stena Line and Irish Ferries run regular services to Fishguard, Pembroke, and Cherbourg. If you are arriving in Ireland by sea from Britain or the continent, this is likely your first stop.
The town itself is modest but pleasant, with Rosslare Strand — a long sandy beach that catches whatever sun the southeast of Ireland has to offer — as its main attraction. The strand stretches for several kilometres and is popular for walking and windsurfing. The area around Wexford town, about 20 kilometres north, has more to see — the Irish National Heritage Park and the Wexford Opera Festival in October are the main draws.
