Wexford Travel Guide
Ireland
Wexford is a town of 19,913 people in south-east Ireland, close to the coast and within Ireland’s local time zone. It is a compact base for exploring this part of the country, with a distinct seasonal climate typical of Ireland.
Travellers flying to Wexford can use Castlebridge Airport, served under the code WEX. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the town, so the immediate area is better suited to exploring Wexford and the wider south-east than planning a beach-focused stay.
