Ballygarrett
Features
Ballygarrett (Irish: Baile Ghearóid) is a rural village near Wexford’s east coast.
Despite being 3km from the coast, Ballygarrett has a strong connection with the sea side. Due to its ideal location on the R742 road, Ballygarret is popular with beach-goers on their way to Morriscastle, Poulshone and Cahore beaches. This means that the town’s businesses tend to cater to a tourist crowd with a focus on beach activities and supplies. For example, the local petrol station also doubles as a bait and tackle shop. The catholic church in the centre of the village, St Mary’s Star of the Sea church, continues this connection with the sea with its name.
The village is close to Cahore, Cahore Beach, Morriscastle Beach, Donaghmore Beach, and Courtown.
