Paddling near Kilkee, Co. Clare

Kilkee sits on the Loop Head Peninsula in County Clare, facing the Atlantic on the Wild Atlantic Way. The town's horseshoe bay is sheltered from open-ocean swell by the Duggerna Reef, making it one of the more accessible sea-paddling bases on Ireland's west coast. Sea kayaking and SUP are the main draws, with tidal caves, coves, inlets, headlands and cliffs reachable directly from Kilkee Beach.
