Passage East

An ancient port closely associated with pivotal times in Irish history.

It was here Strongbow came ashore in 1170 to consolidate the Anglo-Norman foothold in Ireland, with Henry II landing in 1171.

It is now a peaceful, charming fishing village in Waterford Harbour on the East Waterford Gaultier Coast Drive.

Passage East Car Ferry Company operates between the village and Ballyhack in Co. Wexford, linking Passage to the Hook Penninsula, and Rosslare. No reservations are necessary.
