Not happy with some of the best surf in Europe?? Well then there is plenty more to do in the area.
Lahinch is located on the west coast of Ireland, northwest of the River Shannon, the longest river in Ireland. The Cliffs of Moher are a 10 minute drive north. The sheer scale of the 6 miles of Limestone cliffs can be experienced along the perfectly safe 5 mile stretch on top. The view from the cliff tops is superb – you can even see the Aran Islands in the distance.
If you like a round of golf the town has one of Ireland’s greatest links golf course in Lahinch Golf Club.
The main street is home to many restaurants and bars. Every night will be a lively one, especially in the summer months with music sessions going until the early hours.
Further north you will find an amazing Karst limestone region called The Burren, which features caves, underground streams and rare alpine flora. The area also has plenty of fascinating archaeological sites, including the 5000-year-old Megalithic tomb Poulnabrone Dolmen.
Charming nearby villages like Doolin, Fanore and Lisdoonvarna are famed for their traditional music sessions. As well as surf there is a great many walks, bike trails and areas to stop for picnics. The area is also one of the areas in Ireland where many of the region's inhabitants still use Gaelic as their everyday language.
