From Brownstown Head to the newly painted Metal Man; whose warning of imminent danger to all sea going vessels in the area still rings loudly in the ears of locals ?Keep out good ship, keep out from me, For I am the rock of misery? to the unfortunate sunken ships (famous Sea Horse) that lie in a watery grave under the jagged rocks surrounding the bay, Tramore is an old town steeped in history.
By the 1750s the small fishing village of Tramore began to expand into a popular sea- side spa resort; promoting its sea water and coastal climates as a formula to good health and people started building properties to accommodate visitors and so the little village was transformed into the popular sea-side resort that it is today.
?Big Strand? is the English translation of its apt name as its famous golden sandy beach stretches for 5km, ending with one of nature?s wonders; beautiful sand dunes teaming with wildlife, ready for big and small children to explore.
As a youngster I grew up in the sleepy town of Tr? Mh?r, not so sleepy anymore, it has awakened into a busy sea side town for locals, visitors, day trippers, ?blow ins? and of course the prodigals returning home for a chat and catch-up with family and friends.
Tramore has everything to offer to its guests; Water Sports, Spa Treatments, Horse Riding, Tennis, Golf, Walking, Horse Racing, Festivals and Events, excellent Restaurants and Bars, all the ingredients for a good Irish holiday.
You can enjoy all the thrills and excitement you could want in Tramore?s 50-acre amusement park, and experience fun for all of the family at the all year round indoor leisure water leisure centre.
I can?t say enough about how beautiful the panoramic view from the Doneraile Walk is, or how on a warm summer day you can stroll along the shoreline and cool your heels in the clear waters, or grab a surf board and catch a wave or two before strolling up the long Promenade happy and content after a relaxing day at the beach.
The sunsets are spectacular over Tramore Bay and if you?re lucky enough to be standing on one of the sand dunes looking back at the town you might think you were in heaven as the sky turns watery blue and the setting sun is a golden orange ball, slowly slipping behind the headland and as night falls over the town all the lights of the amusement park sparkle and call you to join in the fun and frolics.
To me Tramore is a very special place, and whereever I travel to around the world I always tell people about my old home town by the sea and its charm and natural beauty and I hope by sharing this with you I can appeal to readers all over Ireland to return to good, old fashioned, fun family holidays at home in our own little, lush island of Ireland.
