The Loop Head Scenic Drive will take you to numerous scenic outlooks. Dolphins, whales and seals appear regularly on and around Loop Head Peninsula. A variety of rare birds, like skuas, storm petrels and shearwaters can be seen flying past and attract birdwatchers from near and far.

The many other sights along the West Coast of County Clare - the Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands and the remarkable landscape of the Burren are all well worth a visit and not far away. Ennis with its attractive narrow shopping streets, the Glor Irish Music centre and the Clare museum, Bunratty Castle and Folk Park and - last not least - the Shannon River and Lough Derg offer plenty more possibilities for our guests to choose from.


The atlantic coast offers a number of
angling spots on rocks, cliffs and on the beaches. Sea charter boats can be hired locally, but also the inland waters, the many rivers and lakes in the area make West Clare a paradise for anglers. All the necessary gear can be hired. Click here for more information.


Kilkee
is just 5 mins. away and one of the country's most popular resorts with quite a few natural amenities around its horseshoe-shaped bay. The safe sheltered sandy beach is protected by Duggerna Reef, which is a natural wonder itself with some large and small rock pools full of marine life. Breathtaking cliff walks offer splendid scenery. This Cliff scenery all along to Loop Head Lighthouse is one of Kilkee's greatest natural attractions.
