Bunmahon (Irish: Bun Machan, meaning 'river-mouth of Mahon'),[1] also called Bonmahon, is a coastal village in County Waterford, Ireland, at the mouth of the River Mahon. During the 19th century, when copper mines operated in the area, Bonmahon was a mining village. As of the 21st century, the village and its beach lie on a tourist route.[2]
