Welcome to the website of the
Copper Coast European Geopark!

The Copper Coast European Geopark is located on the South East coast of
Ireland, between Tramore and Dungarvan in County Waterford. It extends
between Fenor in the east to Stradbally in the west and up to Dunhill in the north.

The Copper Coast gets its name from the 19th Century copper mines that lie
at its heart.

It comprises some 25 kilometres of spectacular coastline consisting of
scalloped beaches and coves buttressed and enclosed by rocky headlands.

Oceans, volcanoes, deserts and ice sheets all combined to create the rocks,
which provide the physical foundation of the natural and cultural landscapes
of the Copper Coast.

The aim of the website is to present the different facets of the heritage (natural,
built and cultural) and the activities (education, tourism, events) of the Geopark,
to invite you to visit this beautiful area of the South East of Ireland, also called
the Sunny South East.
