Beaches

There is nothing more refreshing and invigorating than a walk along the ocean, with the winds sweeping in from the Atlantic.

Clare with its long and rugged coastline has a variety of uncrowded beaches or safe sandy coves for the walker. Kilkee and Lahinch are the two premier seaside resorts with magnificent golden beaches and numerous attractions to suit all ages.

Bishop's Quarter at Ballyvaughan, Fanore, White Strand and Spanish Point are other main beaches. Continuing south along the Clare coast, in addition to Kilkee, Seafield at Quilty and the White Strands at Doonbeg are ideal for walking.
