Warrenpoint sits on the southern shore of Carlingford Lough in the Newry, Mourne and Down district of County Down, Northern Ireland, facing County Louth. The town has a distinctive maritime feel with a promenade and harbour set against the wooded slopes of Rostrevor and the backdrop of the Mourne Mountains, while landmarks such as Narrow Water Castle add to the scenic, cross-border character.
Economically it combines a working harbour - Warrenpoint Port handles regional freight - with retail, tourism and some cross-border trade; Victorian-era buildings hint at its past as a seaside resort. The community is active in watersports, angling and local festivals, and the town also carries memories of Troubles-era violence, most notably the deadly 1979 attack near Narrow Water, which forms part of its contemporary history.
