Kilkee has long been one of
Co. Clare's main holiday resorts. Attractions include safe swimming, walking, tennis, squash, golf, pitch and putt,
children's amusements, free-diving and surfing. The area offers quite a few natural amenities around its horseshoe-shaped bay. Breathtaking cliff walks offer splendid scenery. The safe sheltered sandy beachis protected by Duggerna Reef, which is a natural wonder itself with some large and small rock pools full of marine life. The town of Kilkee itself has all kinds of shops, some fine restaurants, an indoor water pool (Kilkee Waterworld) and a cinema (in season only). For the golfing enthusiast Bay View is the ideal place to stay as it is only 5 mins from the Kilkee Golf Links Course and 15 mins from Greg Norman designed Doonbeg Golf Links Course.
