Hit the waves at Lahinch Beach, a seaside resort and popular location for sports like kitesurfing, windsurfing, and surfing. The beach is one of the foremost surfing locations in Ireland, and the site of a world record in which 44 surfers rode a single small wave at one time. Perfect your swing at the 36-hole Lahinch golf club, or explore by cycling, hiking, or pony trekking. Take some time to learn about the area's long history--several earth forts indicate the area was inhabited in ancient times, including a prominent one believed to have been built by Danish Vikings.

  • We loved the boulders going down to the beach. There is a lot of beach between the large boulders and the water. We grabbed an ice cream from spoons and sat on the rocks enjoying the sunshine.

  • This beach has lots of sand and some interesting tidal basins. Beautiful Atlantic coast setting, especially at sunset.

  • Beautiful beach.... Depending on high or low tides you may have to walk a little to find a place to put your picnic mat and chill. But it's worth it. You And the kids can play in water. there is a car park (7mmin walk) from the beach which is free ..not sure about the one close to the beach guess you need to pay for it. There in toilet facility. Lots of places to eat and ice cream shops. A Must visit place....
  • An incredible place. A must for any beach/surf lover. Friendly folk and lots of dining options. Surf rentals and classes available beach side. Amenities close by including public toilets, a playground and leisure centre. A firm family favourite.
