Kilmore Quay is a village in the very south of County Wexford located on the Atlantic Ocean. It is a small village centered around the famous fishing harbour. The village and harbour look at over the privately owned Saltee Islands which are important bird sanctuaries.

On the edge of the village are some fish processing plants. The main road is lined by some quaint houses with thatched roofs.

The village of Kilmore is located a mile or two back along the R739 and presumably was the original settlement.
