Creadan Head, Coastal promontory in County Waterford, Ireland
The headland extends three quarters of a mile from the shore at the western entrance of Waterford Harbour, forming a natural navigation landmark.
The Knights Templar operated a ferry service from Creadan Head to Templetown during medieval times, constructing forty stone steps for maritime access.
The northern beach, known as Fornaght Strand, holds historical connections to maritime trade routes and ancient settlement patterns of the Deise people.
The harbor maintains a minimum depth of 2 meters and permits safe navigation at any time of day or tide through its marked estuary.
Forty hand-carved stone steps descend to sea level, serving as a testament to medieval maritime engineering and transportation infrastructure.
