    Curracloe (blue flag) in Wexford will take you a little longer but it's worth considering...

    Rosslare strand also down that direction too.

    Woodstown is also a nice quiet spot, not a lot of amenities. Its past waterford on the way to dunmore east. You take a turn to the left, a few miles outside waterford. Would probably take about 50 mins with the new rd.

    A drive to Duncannon beach is quite nice(it's Wexford but about one hour ten minutes drive). It's also on the Hook Head route.You can also get a short ferry across at Passage East to the Waterford side and the fishing village of Dunmore isn't too far away, if you fancy buying some fish to take home.

    I second Curracloe, it's a fabulous place and gorgeous this time of year :) I'm heading down there soon enough myself, when we were younger we used to run down the big sand hill :D

    Annestown Beach which is also in County Waterford is one of my favourites. It's a little more relaxed and much smaller than regular beaches but much more scenic with cliffs and a rocky inlet.
