Riverchapel (Irish: temp), County Wexford, Ireland, lies just south of Courtown on the R742 regional road and has been a popular summer holiday resort for Dublin people at least since tourists started to arrive in 1863, when the railway line from Dublin reached nearby Gorey. Riverchapel is 1km inland from the Irish Sea coast and has merged into the adjoining village of Courtown.
Both villages have many caravan parks and holiday homes. In recent years signicant surbanisation has taken place, especially in the Riverchapel. Large housing estates are now home to commuters working in Dublin.
