Walkers
singled Curracloe out for strolls in every season. Many mentioned The Raven
Nature Reserve at its southern end - a sand spit that has grown into a forested
sand dune system where 35pc of the world's Greenland and White-fronted geese
spend winter.
"The
walk takes you to the 'end of the world', where you can see seals basking in
the sun on sandbars," you told us. Its butterflies and wildflowers are
lovely, too.
A
Blue Flag beach stretching over 10km along Ireland's Sunny South Eastern
coastline, you hailed "miles and miles" of "unspoiled
sands" and dunes.
In
fact, "clean" was one of the words used most often to describe a
beach beloved by generations. "The best memories of my youth are from
spending time here running up and down the dunes."
"No matter what the season or weather, it's
breathtakingly beautiful. I never mind just sitting and watching the movement
of the sand or the crashing of the waves," you said.
"Like Portugal without the blazing sun,"
Curracloe was famously the location for the frenetic D-Day landing scenes in
Saving Private Ryan (1998). "A beautiful beach, and a popular table quiz
answer thanks to Steven Spielberg," you said.
Readers noted Curracloe's closeness to Wexford
town, and praised its parking, "great lifeguards", surf school, shop
and access for visitors with disabilities, noting that despite its popularity
with locals and visitors, "it is remote, so there is no mad traffic or
pollution nearby".
