Harbour Viewpoint of Dungarvan is a beloved spot among visitors and locals alike, offering breathtaking panoramic views over Dungarvan Bay. From this vantage point, the deep blue sea contrasts beautifully with the lush green hills and charming coastal homes. It’s especially ideal for photography at sunrise or sunset, when the sky glows with warm, changing hues above the harbor.

The viewpoint also provides a clear view of Dungarvan Castle (King John’s Castle) on the opposite side, blending natural beauty with historical intrigue.
Located in the Abbeyside area, the site serves as the gateway to the Waterford Greenway, a famous cycling and walking trail. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing seaside stroll or rent a bicycle to explore the surrounding nature while taking in the fresh sea breeze.

In short, Harbour Viewpoint is more than just a scenic lookout — it’s a peaceful retreat that captures the true essence of Dungarvan’s coastal charm and history. A must-visit for anyone exploring County Waterford.
