Tramore is a short bus ride (13km) from Waterford. Tramore is a seaside town in County Waterford on the southeast coast. It was a small fishing village until the arrival of the railway in 1853. It is now considered a beach resort and tourist destination. It even has a boardwalk with ice cream, carnival-like attractions and surf shops.
Interesting Fact:
On 31 December 1816, the Sea Horse, a military transport ship, with the 2nd battalion of the 59th Regiment of Foot, was wrecked in Tramore Bay, and 292 men and 71 women and children perished. Some time later the Sea Horse was adopted as the symbol of the town of Tramore, and was later adopted as the logo for Waterford Crystal in 1955.
