Newtown Cove has received the National Green Coasts Award. This small cove mostly used by strong swmmers and divers. Look out for the statue of the Metal Man on top of the Cliffs! Standing on the centre pillar is a figure known as the "Metal Man". These three pillars were erected as a warning to boats and ships coming into Tramore's shallow waters, warning them to keep out from the dangerous rocks. The rhyme that is known to come from the man who stands on one of the pillars goes as follows- "Keep out, keep out, good ships from me, for I am the rock of misery."
