Beach
Fanore
Lovely remote beach
A beautiful Island (one of 3). Amazing place to visit with beautiful beach with crystal clear waters and a rich culture and history. Ferry crossing from Doolin takes circa 20 mins. Overnight stays are possible but a day trip from 10am to 4pm is a wonderful day out. Bicycle hire, Horse and Trap tours available around the island. One can also easily walk/ hike to most of the attractions.

Spanish Point
My favorite placeto swim
Please note this place does not have a beach.
it is a rocky shore.
There is no lifeguard on duty and conditions need to be calm.

Renowned hill walk in the Burren.
a little uneven under foot but a nice challenge, suitable for younger children who have some stamina.
