Why stay in Wexford
Wexford — Sunny Southeast
Wexford gets more sunshine than anywhere else in Ireland — over 1,700 hours per year versus Dublin's 1,400. Curracloe Beach, where the D-Day scenes of Saving Private Ryan were filmed, stretches 15km of unspoiled Atlantic sand. Hook Head Lighthouse, built circa 1172, is the oldest operational lighthouse in the world. The Wexford Opera Festival each October is Ireland's most prestigious opera event.
