Ballyteigue Burrow Nature Reserve
An outdoor nature-reserve in Wexford
A beautiful coastal nature reserve featuring sand dunes, salt marshes, and a long sandy beach. Perfect for family walks, birdwatching, and exploring the unique dune ecosystem. Kids can enjoy running on the beach, spotting birds like oystercatchers and terns, and climbing low dunes. Facilities are limited—no playground or café—but there are basic parking areas and access points. Best visited on a calm, sunny day; bring water, snacks, and sun protection. Suitable for all ages, though supervision is needed near the water and on uneven dune paths.
