    What identity does Tramore actually have , a tacky seaside town that attracts inner city dubs in their droves in the summer months ?

    I think there is probably a bit more to the place than that,although I have to admit I am ignorant of what it might be.I think that is the problem with resort towns its sometimes hard to find the indigenous population.Its like where I live in Kildare.When you actually find someone who isn't a dub,foreign or from down the country its like finding the last of the mohicans.The same goes in the midlands.I work with a guy from Tullamore and he claims there is hardly anyone around with a Tullamore accent these days.However as I explained that might ACTUALLY BE A GOOD THING:D

    The real Tramore for me is walking along the peer and the Doneraile or out the sand hills around Christmas, when it is gusty and cold. Half of Waterford can be found walking out there at that time of year when families are re-united for the few days around Christmas. Great place for a bit of air and a good walk after a big dinner.

    Then refuge for a drink in the majestic or somewhere, although the majestic hasn't got a lick of paint since I was about 12 so maybe not there... (Was there not so long ago and I was disgusted by the place.) I'm not fussed about Tramore during the summer. Too breezy to lie on the beach, too many people. Woodstown is that place to go then for shelter and peace and quiet.

    Tramore is a cracking place though. Cunningham's chipper is an institution and there are so many great walks.

    I hate Tramore in summer too, but it's only 3 months out of the year ;)
