Doughmore Bay
The EPA does not monitor this beach for bathing water, so there is no water-quality record. Check locally and follow the signs before you swim.
Saunter down the 4.5km sandy beach of Doughmore Bay and breathe in the crisp, fresh sea air.
Found in the village of Doonbeg, County Clare, Doughmore Bay is a popular spot with surfers who are on the hunt for more challenging waves. Choose your adventure, whether you want to grab a surfboard or conquer the cliffs of Baltard or Killard.
After a busy day, retire to the village and get settled in one of the cozy pubs that line the quaint streets.
