Has been a
popular holiday resort since
Victorian Times, spreading
along a lovely crescent beach
in Moore Bay. The Diamond
Rocks and Pollock Holes form
natural swimming pools which
are worth a visit.
There are breath-taking cliff
walks at both ends of the
beach, which are safe and
suitable for families.
Restaurants offer fine foods,
with local seafood a
speciality, whilst the pubs
offer music during the summer
months.
Activities include tennis, squash, golf, pitch and putt, children's
amusements, shore & sea
angling, scuba diving, water
sports, cycling and Dolphin
watching in nearby Kilrush.
The Sweeney Memorial Library
is an excellent public
facility and Kilkee Visitors
Center allows visitor to gain
an insight into local
heritage.
Kilkee Waterworld provides fun for all the family; features include the
pool, lazy river, crystal
tower, flume, gushers and a
restaurant.
Kilkee is the idea base for
touring County Clare with Loop
Head to the west, the Burren,
Cliffs of Moher and the Aran
Islands to the north and Lough
Derg to the east.
Kilkee has a
crescent shaped golden sandy
beach. The popularity of
Kilkee as sea-side resort goes
back to early 19th century
steam- vessels that operated
regularly between Limerick and
Kilrush. The remaining journey
was completed by road on horse
and side-car until replaced by
the West Clare Railway.
To-day you can
visit a West Clare Railway
exhibition at Moyasta – on
route between Kilrush and
Kilkee and re-live the Percy
French experience. Parnell
visited Ennis to turn the
first sod of the West Clare
Railway, now sadly closed.
