What travelers are saying

This is a beautiful beach, with interesting flat rock formations seemingly coming straight down from The Burren.

What a fantastic beach - waves were superb - rock pools were great - car park large and close by - definitely worth a visit

The wild atlantic way should be seen by everyone it has the most amazing breathtaking views in Ireland and to top it off it has the beautiful Fanore Beach golden sand stretching for miles ,

a gem

We loved walking barefoot on this beach. splashing in the water, and best of all, riding giant draft horses on the beach early in the morning!

Glorious spot

One of the nicest beaches in Ireland. Rock pools to keep the toddlers entertained for hours. The waves are gentle enough for kiddies and probably learner surfers.. my 9yr old had a ball on them with her boogie board. Can get big jelly fish like...More

Only beach for miles around.

Wild and wooly and deserted in winter. Packed in summer I believe. Surf school! Huge tides! Take beach chairs!!

Beautiful little spot to enjoy the coast a bit more.

It was Winter when we visited so the sand was a bit soppy and the wind was strong but we enjoyed it nonetheless. The Atlantic is a true force- get close to it when you can. Fanore is a very cute area with incredible landscape!!
