Coastguard Cultural Centre Tramore

A Refurbished Heritage Building with Art Gallery & Cafe overlooking the famous Tramore Bay. An array of teas and coffees, that are paired perfectly with one of our various cakes and snacks. We also serve savory delights such as homemade soups and freshly prepared light lunches. There are also displays scattered around the café showing off books, crafts and artwork that’s created by the locals of the area, that can be purchased at any time. Home to a number of local art groups, this venue is a wonderful and unique exhibition space. It can be used for book launches, readings, small musical recitals and plays. Over recent years the Coastguard Cultural Centre has held many exhibitions by local as well as national and international artists.
