Paddling near Dungarvan, Co. Waterford
Dungarvan sits on Waterford's south coast, where Dungarvan Harbour and the tidal Colligan River meet the Celtic Sea. The area draws paddlers to sheltered estuary water close to town, a grade 3–4 whitewater gorge on the Colligan just north, and the dramatic sea-kayaking coastline of the Copper Coast with its cliffs, stacks, caves and arches.
